Issuing the Client Secret

For enhanced security for environments supporting a Client Credentials-based authentication scheme (OPERA Cloud Identity Management), you can only view the client secret once when you issue the secret. Therefore, it is required for customers and partners to note the client secret once it is issued. In case of loss of client secret, a new secret must be issued, and all integrations must be updated with the new client secret.

To issue a new client secret:

  1. From the Developer Portal, click Environments at the top of the page.

  2. Click the View Details link for the environment you want to view.

  3. Click the Issue link for the Client Secret.

  4. Click the Issue button on the confirmation message, which indicates the environments that will be affected once the new client secret is issued.

  5. Click the Copy button to copy the new client secret. 

If the Client ID and Client Secret do not appear, you can create them by clicking the Create Client Credentials button.
