Integration

This tab shows all the information needed to integrate CentralAuth with your application. You can find the following information:

  • Domain: The domain to which you can redirect users to log in. This is centralauth.com by default, but you can change it to your own custom domain. See the organization settings tab for more information.
  • Client ID: The unique ID for this organization to use in your application.
  • Client Secret: The secret key for this organization to use in your application.
tip

To integrate CentralAuth with your application, you require some technical knowledge. If you need help, contact your development team or check the developer documentation.

Generating a new client secret​

You need a client secret to connect your application to CentralAuth. You cannot retrieve the client secret after it has been generated. When you create a new organization, you have to generate a new client secret.

To generate a new client secret:

  • Click on the Generate new secret button.
  • A popup will appear with the new client secret. Copy the client secret and set it in your application. You will not be able to retrieve it again.
caution

Please ensure that you save the client secret in a secure place. Treat it like a password and do not share it with anyone outside your team.

  • When the secret has been generated, it will not be activated immediately. You can activate it by clicking on the Activate now button.
  • If you are not in the position to activate the secret immediately, you can activate it later by clicking on the Activate later button. This is useful if you cannot redeploy your application immediately.
note

If you choose to activate the secret later, you can activate it by clicking on the Activate secret button on the bottom of the page. You will be asked to enter the generated secret to activate it.

  • Once the secret is activated, any old secrets will be invalidated and cannot be used anymore. You can only have one active secret at a time. Any application using the old secret will stop working.
caution

If you lose the client secret, you will have to generate a new one. The old secret will be invalidated and cannot be used anymore.
