This endpoint is for the old version I’m using version 20.0.2, and I want to send body to post request with my own generated client secret value

https://{host}/admin/realms/{realm}/clients/{clientId}/client-secret

Body: {
“clientSecret”:“my own generated value here”
}

Response: {
type: “secret”,
value: “my own generated value here”
}

This is my expectation

                          Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST);
              }
          }
          
          

          
/**
           * Generate a new secret for the client
           *
           * @return
           */
          @Path("client-secret")
          @POST
          @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
          @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
          public CredentialRepresentation regenerateSecret() {
              try{
                  auth.clients().requireConfigure(client);
          
          
        logger.debug("regenerateSecret");
                  session.setAttribute(ClientSecretConstants.CLIENT_SECRET_ROTATION_ENABLED,Boolean.FALSE);

Sadly, expectations don’t cause software to exist.
