19.6 Prepare End-to-end Demo

For the end-to-end demo in the next exercise, you’ll be using the demo website from the URL https://public.aepdemo.net.

On that website, you’ll create your account as part of the demo script and when that happens, that same account needs to be created in ServiceNow. To do that, the website will use the ServiceNow REST API. To make that possible, you need to enable a CORS rule in ServiceNow to allow communication from the URL https://public.aepdemo.net, and you’ll have to update your Configuration ID with your ServiceNow connection variables.

19.6.1 ServiceNow CORS setup

In ServiceNow, in the Filter Navigator, enter the search term Cors. Click CORS Rules.

You’ll then see this. Click New.

You’ll then see an empty CORS Rule form.

Fill out the fields as follows:

• Name: public.aepdemo.net
• REST API: Consumer [now/consumer]
• Domain: https://public.aepdemo.net
• Enable the checkboxes for GET and POST

Click Submit to save your changes.

19.6.2 Update your Configuration ID

Before you can test your end-to-end demonstration, you’ll need to update your Configuration ID settings and update the fields for ServiceNow Instance URL, ServiceNow Username and ServiceNow Password on the Update Configuration ID page of the AEP Demo website Admin pages.

Go to https://public.aepdemo.net/admin_configuration_update.html.

You’ll then see this:

Enter your Configuration ID and then click Load Configuration. You’ll see your Configuration ID values being loaded.

Scroll down until you see the fields ServiceNow Instance URL, ServiceNow Username and ServiceNow Password.

You now need to enter the values for these three fields.

• ServiceNow Instance URL can be found in the URL of your browser. The URL looks like this: https://devXXXXX.service-now.com.

  

  Copy the ServiceNow Instance URL and paste it in the corresponding field on your Configuration ID update page. Add this to the URL: /api/now/consumer.

  

• ServiceNow Username should be admin. Enter admin in the corresponding field on your Configuration ID update page.

  

• ServiceNow Password is the password you entered in Exercise 19.1.1 when creating your ServiceNow developer instance. It was sent to you by email:

  

  Enter your admin password in the corresponding field on your Configuration ID update page.

  

Next, on the Update Configuration ID page, scroll down and click Update Configuration ID.

After this change, your Configuration ID is ready for the end-to-end demonstration!
