On the "App registration" page, all the columns for every application are just "..." and clicking or right-clicking on the "..." does nothing.

Question

I need to get a fresh secret for one of my Apps, and I can't do that with the App registration page not showing anything useful to get to Certificates & secrets.

Answer 1

The Certificates & secrets blade can be reached without relying on the column contents in the App registrations list.

Use one of these approaches:

1. Open the app registration directly
   1. In the Azure portal or Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Entra ID → App registrations.
   2. Use the Search box at the top of the list and type the application name or Application (client) ID.
   3. Click the app name in the results list (the name itself is the link; the columns showing ... are not required to navigate).
   4. In the app’s left-hand menu, select Certificates & secrets.
   5. Under Client secrets, select New client secret, add a description and expiration, then Add.
   6. Immediately copy the Value of the new secret and store it securely; it will not be shown again after leaving the page.
2. If the app registration is created via another feature (for example, Enterprise Application / App Proxy)
   1. In Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Entra ID → App registrations.
   2. Select the app that matches the Enterprise Application name.
   3. From the app’s overview page, note the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID if needed.
   4. Select Certificates & secrets.
   5. On the Client secrets tab, select New client secret, configure description and expiry, then Add and copy the secret value.
3. If creating a new registration instead of using the broken list view
   1. Go to App registrations → + New registration and complete the registration.
   2. After registration, from the app’s overview page select Certificates & secrets.
   3. Create a new client secret as above and copy its value.

If the UI still shows only ... and does not allow selecting the app name, use another browser or an InPrivate/Incognito window to bypass any local UI issue, then follow the same steps to open the app and reach Certificates & secrets.
