In this Scenario when you try and run the App Activation you get "Authorization not successful" message client side, on the K2 Server the error will state that the client Secret is invalid.


 


"Error","System","2025","InternalMarshalError","SourceCode.Hosting.Server.Runtime.HostServerBroker.InternalMarshal","2025 Error Marshalling SourceCode.Security.OAuth.OAuthManagement.DoOAuthTokenExchange, OAuth Error: Code=invalid_client : Description=AADSTS70002: Error validating credentials. AADSTS50012: Invalid client secret is provided.


Trace ID: 5829d874-24d1-4652-bcf1-38bc20a012bf


Correlation ID: ff3097a9-c2f6-491b-9f3b-ef6fca2d89eb"


 


Cause:


This happens when you register the App Principal / app permissions which allows you to generate a random client secret for that principal. 


We register our Client ID (ie, 10d4f504-a2e2-4336-82cd-2a44382e35c6) in the MS Seller Dashboard and is used by all customers.
