Secret : Give your any password.

Token Lifetime : You can select time how long you want to validate your token.

Then click on save.

After this,

Go to Security -> Authorizations -> Groups

And under admin assign oauth_client_{your_id} or you can create your own group for granting only oauth authentication

Now go to Intelligence Service Center in SuccessFacor’s

and provide the credentials which we have created in Cockpit :

Client ID : The ID of cockpit.

Client Secret : The password which you have given in cockpit under Secret field.

Token End Point : You can find Token Endpoint from your cockpit. Go to, Security -> OAuth -> Branding

Click on add and then save the flow.
