Monitor the Client Secret Expiration

The client secret date tells the application how long a user's token is good for. If a token isn't valid, the user's sync won't happen. You should monitor the expiration date of the client secret so that your users' syncs don't stop.

How to Set the Client Secret Expires Field

When administrators first set up the application in Application Composer, they set a date for the client secret to expire. Here's how to set the Client Secret Expires field:

  1. Sign in to the Sales application as a setup user.
  2. Outside of a sandbox, navigate to Configuration > Application Composer.
  3. Navigate to Productivity Applications Setup > Oracle Sales for Outlook.
  4. In the Add-In Registration page, enter a date in the Client Secret Expires field.
  5. Save your changes.

Steps to See the Client Expiration Information

Access the Microsoft 365 Monitor to see the date that the Client Secret expires:

  1. Sign in to the Sales application as a setup user.
  2. Outside of a sandbox, navigate to Configuration > Application Composer.
  3. Navigate to Productivity Applications Configuration > Oracle Sales for Outlook.
  4. Click the Microsoft 365 Monitor button (available at page-level).

    The Client Secret shows next to the cards that display in the monitor.

In the Microsoft 365 Monitor, the client secret expiration date is displayed with different colors:

  • The date is displayed in red if the expiration date is within the next 15 days or if it has already expired.
  • The date is displayed in orange if the expiration date is within 15 to 30 days of expiring.
  • The date is displayed in green if the expiration date is more than 30 days from expiration.
