Add a property setting

Properties (also known as “API clients”) are used to make authenticated requests against the Identity Cloud REST APIs. Typically, these calls are used for login and registration: when a user logs on to or registers with a website, that logon or registration is managed by a property. Properties are also involved when administering a website: access to site resources (such as user profiles) is dictated, in part, by the property used to make a management request.

   To resolve this error, click the setting name (site_locale) and then click Create site_locale. You will not be able to save your changes until this error has been resolved.

6. Type the value for the custom setting in the Value field:

   

7. When you are finished adding new settings, click the Save Changes icon:
