    3. Set your app name. It can be whatever you wish unless…
    4. If you intend to use the Google Vision Text Extractor name the application Federation Services-VisionTextExtractor/1.0 as that will affect the outcome of the vision tasks (Though those will only work if your project has a linked billing account and billing enabled).
    5. Set the support email as the one you used to log in
    6. At the bottom, fill in the support email address.
    7. The support email will be the email the user is directed to when they’re directed to authorise Federation Services to transfer data.

      For example. If you’re running Federation Services on a local machine http://localhost:8080/3sixty-admin/authconn/oauthcb

      Note: For Manage In Place, the domain server has to be public server since Google Drive only supports public server or localhost.
      Note: 127.0.0.1 will not work, but localhost will.

    9. Your new credentials will appear under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs. Click the Download button on the right and retrieve the Client ID and Client Secret from the downloaded JSON file.
