How and where to update Company Communicator v4 App Registration Expired Client Secret
How and where to update Company Communicator v4 App Registration Expired Client Secret in Azure. I see the option to create new secret but not renew it.
1.) If i create a new secret is it required to remove the old expired one ?
2.) After a new secret is created for both the Client and Author apps, where do i need to update the old Secret values with the newly created ones and which values need to be updated
Yes, you can remove the existing expired secret and create a new one using below steps:
1. Click on New client secret’ and generate it.
2. Copy the value.3. Replace the new secret value at all the places where you have used expired once. (AppSettings, KeyVault, Azure Bot etc.)
Note: You need to be careful because the resources you have created using old secret value, should also be updated or created newly.
Thanks,

With the most recent update https://github.com/OfficeDev/microsoft-teams-apps-company-communicator/wiki/Deployment-guide
Does the new version of Teams Communicator Apps still require manual "secret" updates or any other regular maintenance performed by the Global ADmin at the backend Azure level?

mustafafarooq - Could you please confirm if your issue has resolved with above suggestion or still looking for any help?
- Thanks, yes its resolved now, i was just having trouble locating where the secrets needed to be updated for each, the user app and the author app registrations. I have updated it in these three fields in the App Service > Configuration > Application Settings :
AuthorAppPassword (Author App Secret )
AzureAd:ClientSecret (Author App Secret )
UserAppPassword ( User App Secret )
