Generate a client secret for your Microsoft™ Azure application registration to authenticate the application during the onboarding of Microsoft 365 Purview with IBM® Guardium® Exposure Manager.
About this task
A client secret is a credential that the application uses to prove its identity when requesting a token. You must copy the secret value immediately after creation because it is displayed only once. If you lose the value, you must create a new client secret.
Procedure
-
In your app registration, select Certificates & secrets from the menu.
-
Under Client secrets, click New client secret.
-
In the Description field, enter a descriptive name for the secret, such as GEM Integration Secret.
-
In the Expires section, select an expiration period.
Select 12 months or 24 months. You must rotate the secret before it expires to prevent authentication failures.
-
Click Add.
The new secret appears in the Client secrets list with its value visible.
-
In the Value column, copy the secret value and store it securely.
Important: Copy the Value, not the Secret ID. The secret value is displayed only once. If you navigate away from this page before copying the value, you must create a new secret.
What to do next
Enter the copied secret value in the Client secret field on the onboarding screen of Microsoft 365 Purview with IBM Guardium Exposure Manager.
