# Login With Client Secret

{% hint style="info" %}
The setup script behind **Copy PS** on the Azure Configuration page can create the client secret for you: set `$useCertificate = $false` before running it, and it prints the secret value at the end. See [Setup Script (Copy PS)](/forestall/configuration-center/azure-configurations.md#setup-script-copy-ps).
{% endhint %}
