# Register a client secret for your app

To establish communication between your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment and the Anywhere Portal app, define a client secret for the app registered in Microsoft Entra admin center.

## Steps

1. In the Microsoft Entra admin center, open your app and select the **Certificates & Secrets** section.

3. Save the secret value and store it in a secure location. Use it together with the client ID to get an AD token for API calls.
