In this part of the learning resource, you will create an application for the product RHOAM API OIDC that you created in Part 5 of this learning resource.

1. Log in to OpenShift API Management using your configured identity provider.
2. Navigate to Audience→Accounts→Listing and click Create to create a new account (Figure 33).

3. On the Create New Account page, enter the following values (Figure 34):
   • Username: test-oidc
   • Email: a valid email address
   • Password: a string that is easy to remember
   • Organization/Group Name: TestOIDC

Figure 34: The “Create new account wizard” lets you fill out fields to specify parameters.

4. Click Create to create the user and account. The Account details page will be displayed (Figure 35).

6. Create a new application for the TestOIDC account with the following values (Figure 37):
   • Product: RHOAM API OIDC

7. On the overview page for the application, click Edit in the API Credentials section.

Set the redirect URL to https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback. This redirect URL will become useful later in this learning resource when you test using the Authorization Code OAuth2 flow (Figure 38).
