    • Create a Client Secret for the newly created VitalSource application

      • Click Certificates and Secrets

      • Under Client secrets click New client secret

      • For Description add “VitalSource Integration”

      • Expires: Select “Custom” and then enter:

        • Start: Today’s date

        • End: Longest date possible (typically 3 years)

          • Please note when this Client Secret expires the integration will stop working so you will need to provide VitalSource with a new Client Secret before this one expires in the future so users service is not interrupted

    • Provide VitalSource with the following data points to complete the integration

      • Application (client) ID: Found in the Overview tab under Essentials section

      • Directory (tenant) ID: Found in the Overview tab under Essentials section

      • Client Secret Value: Found in the Certificates and secrets tab

      • OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint (v2): Found in the Endpoints tab

      • OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2): Found in the Endpoints tab

      • OIDC Userinfo Endpoint: Should always be: https://graph.microsoft.com/oidc/userinfo

      • Scope: Should always be openid

    • Share the above information with your VitalSource Integration Manager using https://reveal.vitalsource.com/secret/
