Specifies the location of the file where multi-factor authentication (MFA) credentials are stored.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"%APPDATA%\\CData\\ServiceNow Data Provider\\CredentialsFile.txt"

Remarks

MFA credentials are temporary and typically expire after one hour. When they expire, a new MFA passcode or token value must be provided to reconnect. This property is only used when MFA is required by the selected SSO flow, such as Okta.

Because MFA tokens are single use, multi-threaded or multi-process applications should store credentials in a shared, central file to prevent invalid token reuse.

If not set, the default location is %APPDATA%\\CData\\ServiceNow Data Provider\\CredentialsFile.txt, where %APPDATA% resolves to the user’s configuration directory:

This property is useful for environments where MFA tokens are required for SSO authentication with ServiceNow.
