Hello,  
I need to rotate the secret for the client.  
I have a service account client:

It is necessary to change the secret periodically. But I can’t seem to find a solution for this.  
If you have any suggestions or hints I will be glad

There is no automated secret rotation. You have to regenerated the secret and then update the value in your client. Not ideal, but currently the only way to do it.
