Updating the Client Secret

Updating Your Client Secret

Client Secrets have an expiration that is set when the secret is created. It is best practice to replace the Client Secret before it expires becuase once it expires, the workflow will no longer release documents to SharePoint.

Generating a New Client Secret

Login to your Microsoft Entra admin center (Azure AD) and create an App registration. Expand Entra ID and select App registrations.

Getting to your Existing App Registration

From the list of apps on either the All applications tab or the Owned applications tab, click the App Registration that is being used by GlobalCapture.

From the Applications left menu, select Certificates & Secrets.
On the Client secrets tab, you will see a current list of secrets and their expiration dates. Click + New client secret to generate a new Client Secret.

Give your new secret a Description and set an Expires date.

You will need to make sure you refresh the secret prior to it’s expiration for continued fuction.

App registration will generate a client secret and add it to the list. Make sure you record the Value of this secret as it will be obscured and can no longer be accessed.

If you lose the secret value or don’t record it, you will need to generate a new secret.
