Thank you very much for quick respond, but my question was: I don't have any secret created, is that mandatory? Or where can I get that secret. to rephrase, I know how to save a secretes and certificate, but where can i get that secret so that i can save it. I currently don't have a secret saved in my application. Is the secret something like your API key or your some password (and can you say, where can i get those?)

    I cant answer if you absolutely need the secret with certainty. It's been so long since i worked on this that a lot of the details are fuzzy in my memory. I know i needed the secret to get it work for the data i was pulling in my instance. If you want to get a secret please re-examine the picture uploaded. I circled the new client secret option for you.
