The authtoken will be EOL-ed in February 2021 (Revised EOL Date - March 15th, 2021)

Dear Users,

EOL for Authtokens will be effective from end of February 2021 and Authtokens were already deprecated as announced already in the forum post.

Breaking Changes - Authtoken EOL

OAuth is the industry standard protocol for client authentication and we recommend our users to move to OAuth. Various integrations and features in ServiceDesk Cloud that used authtoken in the past have been upgraded to use OAuth now.

If you are using any of the features/integration mentioned in the below table, kindly take the recommended action to move to OAuth as soon as possible. This will ensure seamless working of the relevant features and integrations.

Timeline : February,  2021
