1E system

1E Virtual Assistant provides a number of topics that rely on 1E. To utilize these, you will need a complete 1E infrastructure, either in the local network or hosted over the internet.
For Basic Authentication-
A complete infrastructure of 1E (on-premises) is required, either in a local network or hosted over the internet. This includes the 1E Client, deployed to all devices that you need to manage.
The Basic Authentication feature must be installed on the 1E Server (Master Stack), and enabled in the Consumer node of the 1E web application.
For Modern Authentication-
A complete infrastructure of 1E 1E (Saas) is required, either in a local network or hosted over the internet. This includes the 1E Client, deployed to all devices that you need to manage.
The Modern Authentication is to be setup either using Microsoft Entra ID or Okta for external IdP.

ServiceNow certificates (Modern Authentication)	The input certificate for Modern Authentication is a standard .pfx file containing a private key, hence it requires conversion from .pfx to .PEM and .JKS. App ID is required and is provided by your 1E instance. Client certificates (in .PEM and .JKS format) are required and to be verified in the sys_certificate table. Also create a JWT key and associate it with the JKS certificate. Similarly, create JWT provider and associate it with the JWT key.
