# Promoting OAuth and OIDC applications

You can promote the OAuth and OIDC applications assigned to you.

## Before you begin

Prepare to provide the following:

* Redirect URIs, if required. These are the URIs your users will be directed to after they receive authorization to access your application. Redirect URIs are only required when promoting applications that use an authorization code and implicit grant types.

  Redirect URIs are not limited to the number of characters they can contain, but cannot include wildcards or some special characters.

* If a client secret is required to authenticate your application, you can create a custom secret, generate a secret, or leave the field empty and PingCentral will generate a client secret for you.

## Steps

1. To promote the application to an environment, click the expandable icon associated with the application, select the **Promote** tab, and click **Promote**.

2. From the **Available Environments** list, select the environment to which you want to promote the application.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                  |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   |   | If you have the Application Owner role, you cannot promote applications to protected environments, which have shield icons associated with them. |

3. If redirect URIs are required to promote the application, enter them in the **Redirect URIs** field.

4. If a client secret is required to authenticate your application, you can:

   * Create a custom secret and enter it in the **Client Secret** text box.

     |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
     | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | If your PingCentral administrator has chosen to enforce random secret generation, application owners will be unable to create their own secret, and PingCentral will generate a random client secret. |

   * Generate a client secret by clicking the **Generate Secret** button.

5. Click **Promote**.

   ### Result:

   PingCentral promotes your application to the designated environment in PingFederate. You will see the new promotion in the **History** section of the page.

6. To configure the SSO connection, provide the following information to your service provider:

   * The client ID. Click **View Client Details** to access the **Promotion Details** window, which displays the client ID.

   * The client secret and OIDC discovery endpoint are also available in this window.
