3. Fill out Application Name & Application URL (what actually goes in these fields is not important, except that the URL has to begin with https://)

⁠

⁠

4. Click Generate X.509 Certificate. Fill out Common Name (the name doesn't matter) and hit Generate

⁠

⁠

5. Once the certificate populates, download and save it. You will have downloaded a file called Certificate.pem

6. Click Register (it will have replaced the Generate button)

7. Back on your Manage OAuth2 Client Applications, go to the application you just created and click Edit

⁠

⁠

8. You will now see an API key listed - this is your Client ID. Copy and save this Key.
