# Generating Client Secret

Once you have created an application in Azure (as explained in the section [Registering Britive application in Microsoft Entra ID](https://docs.britive.com/docs/registering-britive-application-in-azure)), you can now generate the client secret.

---

Perform the following steps in Azure to generate the client secret:

1. Log in to Azure with credentials that have administrator privileges.
2. Select the **Microsoft Entra ID**.
3. Select**App Registrations**and then select "Britive" application (the application created in the previous step, [Registering Britive application in Azure application](/v1/docs/registering-britive-application-in-azure)).
4. Select **Certificates & Secrets** under **Manage** from the navigation menu.
5. Click the **+New Client Secret**.
6. In **Description**, enter a description for the client secret.
7. Select the expiry period of the client secret. When you select the option, **in a year**, the client secret expires in one year and after one year, the user has to generate a new client secret and provide the same in the Britive application in Azure. If you select Never, the client secret never expires.
8. Click **Add**.
9. The new client secret value is displayed under **Client Secrets**. Copy the value of the client secret. The value will only be displayed once and will be hidden after the first display.
10. Store the value of the client secret, as it is required while onboarding the Azure application in Britive.
