   Field	Description
   Client ID	Registers the client application on the OpenID Connect provider side.
   Client Secret	Identifies the client application. When the BMC Helix SSO server is registered as a client on the OpenID Connect provider side, the OpenID Connect provider generates and provides the client ID and client secret values.

   RSSO Server URL	URL of the BMC Helix SSO server.
   RSSO Callback URL	This is a read-only field.
   Prompt	The authorization server prompts the user for a required action. Select one of the following options from the list: none: Does not display any authentication or consent user interface pages. The authorization server returns an error if an end user is not already authenticated or if the client does not have a pre-configured consent for the requested claims or does not fulfill other conditions for processing the request. The error code will typically be one of the following codes: - login_required, - interaction_required, - account_selection_required, - consent_required, - invalid_request_uri, - invalid_request_object, - request_not_supported, - request_uri_not_supported, - registration_not_supported. This can be used as a method to check for existing authentication or consent. login: Prompts the end user for reauthentication. If the authrization server cannot reauthenticate the end user, it returns an error, typically login_required. consent: Prompts the end user for consent before returning information to the client. If the authorization server cannot obtain the consent, it returns an error, typically consent_required. select_account: Prompts the end user to select a user account. This enables an end user who has multiple accounts at the authorization server to select an account that they might have current sessions for. If the authorization server cannot obtain an account selection choice made by the end user, it returns an error, typically account_selection_required.
   User ID field name	User ID.
