Configure a Client Application

Once you've configured a Resource application, you must create a Client application that uses the Resource. The Client application is used by ODA to request a JWT to send to the Chat Service for authentication. Creating a Client application is similar to creating a Resource application.

1. Log in to Identity Cloud Service as a user with the Identity Domain Administrator role.
2. Click the Navigation Drawer icon to show the side menu.
3. Select Applications.
4. From the Applications screen, click +Add and select Confidential Application.
5. Enter a name for the Client application (such as Channel Service Application) and click Next.
6. On the Client screen, select Configure this application as a client now and select the following two checkboxes in the Allowed Grant Type area:
   • Resource Owner
   • Client Credentials.
7. Click Next to advance to the Resources tab.
8. In the Token Issuance Policy section, click the +Add Scope button.
9. In the Select Scope pop up window, locate the resource you previously created and click the > arrow beside it.

   The Select Scope page shows a list of the defined scopes for the resource.

10. Click the checkbox, and then click Add.
11. Click Next until you reach the Authorization workspace, and then click Finish.
12. On the pop up window, copy the Client ID value and the Client Secret value for later use.
13. Close the pop up window, and click Save.
14. Click the Activate button.
    Note: You must click the Activate button before closing IDCS.
