Troubleshooting scaling failures caused by an invalid client secret in Azure

Title

Your cluster may not be able to perform scaling actions if Azure reports an “invalid client secret” error similar to the following:

Invalid client secret provided. Ensure the secret being sent in the request is the client secret value, not the client secret ID, for a secret added to app

This happens when the API is configured with the wrong type of secret. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) uses both a client secret ID and a client secret value, and the system requires the client secret value.

Solution

In Azure, open the app registration used by your AKS cluster.
Go to Certificates & secrets.
Generate a new client secret value.
Copy the value (not the ID).
Update the configuration with this new value using the API.
Retry the scaling action.

Outcome

After updating the API with the correct client secret value, your cluster should be able to perform scaling actions successfully.
