Prerequisites

The integration of MID Server Credential Resolver with Secret Server requires that the following requirements be met:

Secret Server

  • Secret Server is properly provisioned and configured in your environment.

  • You have admin permissions for logging in to Secret Server.

  • A service account has been created with appropriate permissions.

  • A discovery secret has been configured in Secret Server.

  • Ensure Secret Server is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS from the MID Server.

  • If using Delinea Credentials Cache, verify it is configured correctly to work with your Secret Server instance for credential retrieval and caching.

ServiceNow:

  • A compatible ServiceNow instance. For details about supported MID Server Credential Resolver versions and which ServiceNow releases are compatible with it, see ServiceNow Release Integration Matrix.

The following plugins are available and must be activated on the ServiceNow instance:

  • External Credential Storage Plugin: Enables ServiceNow to securely store and resolve credentials from Secret Server.

  • Discovery Plugin: Enables ServiceNow to perform discovery operations on network infrastructure and resolve credentials using MidServer.

MID Server

  • Ensure that the MID Server has the required access to Secret Server over HTTP/HTTPS.

  • Java 11 or higher must is required on each MID Server host. No need to install Java separately as recent ServiceNow MID Servers already come with a built-in Java (Eclipse Temurin 11 or 17, depending on ServiceNow release version).

Delinea MidServer Setup Utility Requirements:

  • For Windows: Standard GUI environment (no special requirements for UI mode).

  • For Linux: Active graphical display session (X11 or Wayland) with DISPLAY environment variable set if using UI mode. For headless Linux environments, use the command-line utility instead.

For details on configuring the integration, including the use of the Delinea Credentials Cache, see the Delinea Credentials Cache documentation.
