BeginnerTime estimate: 5 minutes

Prerequisites​

Set up client connection credentials​

Here, we'll set up client connection credentials to create, name, and connect your client.

To create a new client, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the API tab:

cluster-details

  1. Click Create New Client to create a new client and name your client accordingly.

  2. Select Zeebe so the newly-created client can access your Zeebe instance.

create-client

  1. Make sure you keep the generated client credentials in a safe place. The Client Secret will not be shown again. For your convenience, you can also download the client information to your computer.

created-client

The downloaded file contains all the necessary information to communicate with your Zeebe instance in the future:

  • ZEEBE_ADDRESS: Address where your cluster can be reached.
  • ZEEBE_CLIENT_ID and ZEEBE_CLIENT_SECRET: Credentials to request a new access token.
  • ZEEBE_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_URL: A new token can be requested at this address, using the credentials.
