Getting "unauthorized_client" error while regenerating new Microsoft token in OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow

Question

We are using OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow for admin authentication. We are using this API to regenerate the admin oauth token. But we are getting the below error for a user when generating the token after token becomes invalid. Can you please advise on this?

   {"error":"unauthorized_client","error_description":"AADSTS7000112: Application 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'(<app-name>) is disabled.\r\nTrace ID: ec4b3557-143a-4020-9651-5cdaf0f83900\r\nCorrelation ID: 97a\r\nTimestamp: 2022-04-28 00:3sdew34fdddddddddd7:47Z","error_codes":[7000112],"timestamp":"2022-04-28 00:37:47Z","trace_id":"ec4b3557-143a-4020-9651-5cdaf0f83900","correlation_id":"9e5ewferferfge753476fergerf97a"}

Hi @Test User

Your application object appears to be disabled.

Go to the Azure portal and log in with administrator > Azure AD > Enterprise applications. Search for your app (if it doesn't show up initially, make sure you've selected "All Applications", under "Application Type"). Choose the app, and in the new blade, choose "Properties", on the left.

If "Enabled for users to sign in?" is set to "No", then the app is disabled in that tenant. Setting it to "Yes" will enable it.
