About this task

You will use the client secret when configuring an identity provider on Avaya Aura® Device Services Keycloak. Use this procedure to generate and obtain a client secret for your SSO application on Microsoft Azure.

You must copy and save a client secret immediately after creating it. You cannot see the secret again after you leave the Client secret configuration page.
