Which authentication method is not supported in REST message records?

• A. Digest
• B. OAuth 1.0
• C. No authentication
• D. Basic

Answer: (B)

When configuring how a REST call proves its identity, you select an authentication method for the REST message record. ServiceNow supports several options for REST messages: you can leave authentication off for public endpoints, use HTTP Basic for simple user/password credentials, or use Digest as a more secure alternative to Basic. For token-based access, OAuth flows are used, with OAuth 2.0 being the current standard supported for REST messages. OAuth 1.0 isn’t available as an authentication option for REST message records, so it isn’t supported in this context. If you need OAuth-style access, you’d use OAuth 2.0 with tokens for REST messages.
