Generating the OAuth Secret and Base64 Encoded Client ID and Secret

If you do not have Mutual TLS authentication enabled for an application, you must generate an OAuth secret for your application and submit a Base64 Encoded Client and Secret (Base64-encoded OAuth Client ID and OAuth Secret) to the OAuth server to obtain an OAuth access token.

Context

If Mutual TLS authentication is enabled for your application, skip this procedure. Instead, you must obtain and configure a security certificate for your application as described in Managing Security Certificates for Mutual Authentication.
