Thank you for your post!

I understand that you need to get your Azure AD Application Registration's Client ID and Client Secret but aren't able to find these values. To hopefully point you in the right direction or help resolve your issue, I'll share the steps below.

Azure AD Application Registration's Client ID:

1. From Azure Active Directory select App registrations within the left menu.
2. If the App registrations you're looking for isn't there try selecting All applications and searching for the name of the App registration.
3. Once you find and select your desired App registration, from the Overview page you'll find the Client ID along with the Object ID and Tenant ID.

Client Secret:

Note: Client secret values cannot be viewed, except for immediately after creation. Be sure to save the secret when created before leaving the page.

1. From your App registration, select Certificates & secrets from the left menu.
2. On the Certificates & secrets page you'll be able to view your Secret ID however, in order to view a Secret's value, you'll need to create a new Secret.

I hope this helps!

If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
