Get service account credentials and authentication details

Black Duck Portal documentation

How to retrieve the credentials and authentication information needed to integrate your application with a service account.

Note: Only Organization Admins can complete these steps.
  1. Go to Service Accounts.
  2. Select the options icon next to the account, and then select Manage Secrets.
    Tip: Use the search field to search for account names, descriptions, client ID, or audience.
    The Manage Client Secret window opens.

Here, you can find and copy the account's:
  • Client ID
  • Tenant ID
  • Client Secret

Additionally, the cURL command near the bottom of the window demonstrates how to request access tokens for your service account (a reference implementation of the OIDC token endpoint request that your application needs to make programmatically).

Tip: You can run the cURL command directly to test authentication and verify your service account is configured correctly. Tokens obtained this way expire after 24 hours.
