How to get your ELMO client ID and client secret: Step-by-step guide
December 11, 2023
ELMO supports authentication with client ID and client secret. To connect, you'll need to generate secure client ID and client secret from your account settings.
This short guide shows you how to generate one, whether you're testing in your sandbox or helping customers connect their ELMO account.
Authentication Methods
ELMO uses three main credentials for API authentication:
- Client ID: A unique identifier for your application.
- Client Secret: A secure key used in conjunction with the Client ID.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Request Access: Contact your ELMO Account Manager to confirm your organization has API access enabled.
- Assign Permissions:
- Log in to the ELMO Administration portal.
- Navigate to Security Profiles and add a profile with the API Access Managerrole.
- Assign this profile to the specific user who will manage the integration.
- Generate Credentials:
- Have a Company Admin access the API Management console.
- Generate and securely record the Client ID and Client Secret.
You've now created your ELMO client ID and client secret - just one of many if you support multiple vendors. Each one adds new auth flows, schema differences, and ongoing maintenance.
