Adapter attributes and object classes

Adapter attributes and object classes are required for customization, creating provisioning rules, and understanding what service/target attributes are supported by the adapter. The Identity server communicates with the adapter by using attributes, which are included in transmission packets that are sent over a network.

User attributes

The following tables show the standard attributes and object classes that are supported by the ServiceNow Adapter.
