First, you should know that Keycloak implements OpenID Connect, which
> is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
According to the OAuth 2.0 protocol clients can be either confidential or public.
> The main difference relates to whether or not the application is able > to hold credentials (such as a client ID and secret) securely.
Regarding the confidential clients:
> Because they use a trusted backend server, confidential applications > can use grant types that require them to authenticate by specifying > their client ID and client secret when calling the Token endpoint.
Armed with this knowledge you can easily create a client that will have a client secret as follows:
- Create a client with "Access Type" set to confidential:
- Click the Save button;
- Afterwards a new tab named "Credentials" will show up :
- And there you can see the client secret:
