Authorize components
Before you install any on-premises component (Broker, Workstation Agent, or DSA), you must generate an authorization file for it. The authorization file is a JSON object containing a client ID and secret that confirms the component is trusted and allowed to connect to OpenLM Platform.
You need one authorization file per component you plan to deploy. Generate these files before you begin installation.
Generate an authorization file
- In the OpenLM Platform, navigate to Identity Service > Authorization tab.
- Select Add Client.
- Select the client type (Broker, Workstation Agent, or DSA) and add a description (optional).
- Select Save.
- Copy and paste the provided client ID and secret, or download the entire file as
.json.
Generating an authorization file
Keep the downloaded .json file accessible — you will upload it during each component's installation.
If you delete an authorization file later, components using that file will immediately lose access to the system. To reset a client secret, select Reset Secret on the authorization entry and download the new file. The previous secret becomes invalid.

Continue to Install Broker to deploy your first on-premises component.
