            Generate an Initial Access Token

            OpenID Connect dynamic client registration lets OAuth 2.0 clients—connected apps—directly register connected apps with Salesforce. To authenticate these client registration requests, Salesforce requires an initial access token.

            To manage, create, edit, and delete OAuth apps: Manage Connected Apps

            Before generating an initial access token, create a connected app to integrate the OAuth 2.0 client with the Salesforce API. See Create a Connected App.

            To use dynamic client registration, the registering connected app must provide the initial access token in its request to the dynamic client registration endpoint. With a successful authentication, Salesforce registers a new OAuth 2.0 connected app.

            1. From Setup, enter Apps in the Quick Find box, then select App Manager.
            2. Locate the OAuth connected app in the apps list, click Action dropdown, and select View.
            3. In the Initial Access Token for Dynamic Client Registration section, click Generate if an initial access token hasn’t been created for the connected app. If a token has already been created for the app, but you require a new token, click Regenerate.
              Regenerating the initial access token invalidates the previous one that your OAuth clients use. Update your OAuth clients to use the new token.
            4. Click Click to reveal, and copy the token for registration with the app’s OAuth 2.0 client. Initial access token for dynamic client registration

            After generating the initial access token, register it with your external API gateway.
