Symptom
Error "OAuth client cannot be created. Please try again." when trying to create a new Oauth client in SAC.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud.
Reproducing the Issue
- Sign in to SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Navigate to System > Administration > App Integration.
- Select Add an OAuth Client.
- Enter the required details (for example: Purpose = API Access, Authorization Grant = Client Credentials, name, and validity), then select Add.
- The error appears and the OAuth client is not created.
Cause
The backend OAuth service session (created when loading the Administration page and used for CSRF/backend validation) expired before the OAuth client creation request was submitted.
This session expires after approximately 30 minutes.
Resolution
- Clear browser cookies.
- Sign in to SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Immediately navigate to System > Administration > App Integration.
- Add the OAuth client without keeping the Administration page open for 30 minutes or longer.
- If the page has been open for 30+ minutes, refresh or re-open it to establish a new backend session before attempting creation again.
