Reset the expired key of enterprise app

Question

Reset the expired key of enterprise app

Kumar, Arun 336

Hello,

We have a sharepoint connection in our synapse pipeline through an enterprise app. The secret key expired but i am not able to find an option to generate a new key. In normal apps we can reset the expired key to generate a new one.

Can someone provide some guidance here?

Thanks,
Arun

Hi @Kumar, Arun
Just to confirm is your application hosted on Azure App Service, and is it linked to the App Registration with the expired secret?

Hi @Kumar, Arun

Based on your query, here is my understanding: You have a service principal which has a client secret expired.

In this scenario, you need to make sure a new client secret is generated for your application. Here is the Microsoft document which helps you in step by step: Add a credential to your application.

Here are the steps:

In the Microsoft Entra admin center, in App registrations, select your application.

Select Certificates & secrets > Client secrets > New client secret.

Add a description for your client secret.

Select an expiration for the secret or specify a custom lifetime.

Client secret lifetime is limited to two years (24 months) or less. You can't specify a custom lifetime longer than 24 months.

Microsoft recommends that you set an expiration value of less than 12 months.

Select Add.

Record the client secret Value for use in your client application code. This secret value is never displayed again after you leave this page.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hi @Kumar, Arun

I believe you are looking for it from Enterprise applications. You need to go to App registrations option in Entra ID. Once you go to App registration, select All applications and search for your application. Once you click on the application, you will see Certificates and Secrets. There you will be able to create a new secret.

I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Hi @Kumar, Arun

I believe you are talking about the following document: Upgrading SharePoint applications from Azure Access Control Service to Azure Active Directory. This is how upgradation has been done and if you are using the same, you can do this operation. If this does not help you, could you please share the error or the screenshots from where you are trying to look out for client secret in your tenant. Also please share any relevant document you have used to configure the applicaiton.
