Aadhaar Toolkit — Aadhaar Verification with RESTMessageV2 + Connection & Credential Alias

[abhix2112]

This contribution introduces SmartAadhaar Toolkit, a complete package for Aadhaar verification within ServiceNow.

It is not just a Script Include — it combines:

Script Include wrapper (SmartAadhaar) for OTP-based, demographic, document, and status verification

RESTMessageV2 integration for secure API calls

Connection & Credential Alias (aadhaar_api) for endpoint + credential management

Why this is useful
Aadhaar verification is a common need for organizations onboarding users in India. Instead of re-writing REST calls each time, this toolkit provides a drop-in, reusable utility that follows ServiceNow best practices:

🔒 Security: no hardcoded secrets, input validation, masking of Aadhaar numbers

⚡ Reliability: retry logic, exponential backoff, error handling

🧾 Compliance: session management, consent tracking hooks, audit logging

🛠️ Flexibility: endpoints configurable per provider, works with any UIDAI-approved gateway

Folder placement
Per the contributing guidelines, the snippet is placed under:

Server-Side Components/
REST Integrations/
SmartAadhaar Toolkit/
README.md
SmartAadhaar.scriptinclude.js

This location reflects that it is a REST integration toolkit (Script Include + RESTMessageV2 + Connection & Credential Alias) rather than a standalone Script Include.

How to test

Configure a Connection & Credential Alias: aadhaar_api with your provider’s base URL + credentials.

Run the sample Background Script calls from README.md:

sendOtp() → user receives OTP

verifyOtp() → returns eKYC data

verifyDemographic() → returns match score

getDocument() → fetches Aadhaar XML/PDF

checkStatus() → checks verification status

Security note

No Aadhaar number or OTP is logged (masked in logs).

No credentials are hardcoded (all stored in Connection & Credential Alias).

Explicit consent tracking supported via helper params.

👉 This way, you show them:

It follows folder guidelines (moved into Server-Side Components/REST Integrations/SmartAadhaar Toolkit/).

It’s not just a Script Include but a Toolkit.

You included README + testing steps + security notes.
