    How do I authenticate to my Clear Pass server so I can use the new REST API (6.6) using OAuth2:

    I created a OAuth service using the template as explained in the CP User Guide

     

    I tried to submit the following JSON via  the API Explorer to

    https://clrpass-e-1-m.its.uiowa.edu:443/api/oauth

     

    {
    "grant_type": "password",
    "client_id": "",
    "client_secret": "",
    "username": "<USERNAME>",
    "password": "<PASSWORD>"
    }

     

    But I get the following:

    {
  "type": "http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html",
  "title": "invalid_client",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "This client is invalid or must authenticate using a client secret"
} 

     

    It seems like I need a Client_id and Client_Secret. Where do I find these?

     

    Thanks.
