Tax Balance configuration

Perform the following configuration instructions on the machine that hosts the Tax Balance Server.

Edit the appsettings.json file in the physical directory of the Tax Balance Server application:

1. Set "Authentication" > "OAuth" > "AuthorizationEndpoint" to <your-portal-url>/login
2. Set "Authentication" > "OAuth" > "ClientId" to the Client ID from the previous registration process
3. Set "Authentication" > "OAuth" > "ClientSecret" to the Secret from the previous registration process
4. Set "Authentication" > "OAuth" > "TokenEndpoint" to <your-portal-url>/portal/api/auth/token
5. Set "Authentication" > "JwtBearer" > "Authority" to <your-portal-url>
6. Set "Authentication" > "JwtBearer" > "ClaimsIssuer" to <your-portal-url>
7. Set "ConnectionsStrings" > "SmartTaxBalanceDatabase" to a valid connection string
   e.g. Server=<your-database-server>;Database=taxbalance;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;Encrypt=True
Trusted_Connection, TrustServerCertificate and Encrypt must meet the requirements of the SQL Server. Be aware that setting Trusted_Connection  to True will enforce Integrated Security to True. Therefore, it is not possible to use User Id and Password in this case. See SQL Server Database for more details.
