Client ID and Client Secret
After you add Intrexx as an application in the ID provider, the ID provider generates two identification credentials: Client ID and Client Secret.
In this context, "client" refers to the application that communicates with the ID provider (on behalf of the user). So the client is Intrexx. Client ID and Client Secret are the identifiers provided by OAuth2 that applications can use to identify themselves to one another. The client ID is not the user's ID. The Client ID and Client Secret are used solely to identify applications to one another.
A so-called access token is generated for the duration of communication between the applications.
Configuration: In Intrexx, you must enter the client ID, client secret, and URL (API endpoint) in the provider configuration dialog ("Configure Provider") so that Intrexx can retrieve the access token.
Example - Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
Open the overview page of the Intrexx application (app).
Client ID You can find the client ID in the "Application ID (Client)" field. You can copy the client ID to the clipboard by clicking a button.

Secret: For Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), you must generate the client secret yourself.

The "Add Secret Client Key" section appears.
Enter the required information.
Click "Add."
The secret client key is displayed here as "Value." This value corresponds to the client secret that you must enter in the configuration file.
You can copy the secret client key ("Value") to the clipboard by clicking a button.
