Client secret validation failed for client, Invalid client secret

on Authorization code flow,

Oidc setting

private getClientSettings(): any {
    return {
      authority: "https://localhost:5001",
      client_id: "Local",
      redirect_uri: "https://localhost:5001/auth-callback",
      post_logout_redirect_uri: "https://localhost:5001",
      response_type: "code",
      scope: "profile openid email IdentityPortal.API offline_access",
      //filterProtocolClaims: environment.openID.filterProtocolClaims,
      loadUserInfo: true,
      monitorSession: true,
      silent_redirect_uri: "https://localhost:5001/silent-reniew.html",

                {
                    ClientId = "Local",
                    //ClientName = "Local",
                    AllowedCorsOrigins = new List<string> { "http://localhost:4200","https://localhost:4200" },
                    AllowedGrantTypes = GrantTypes.Code,
                    AllowAccessTokensViaBrowser = true,
                    AccessTokenLifetime=86400,

You simply don’t use Client Secrets for JavaScript based Single Page Applications(SPA) like React. This is because these browser based applications can’t be trusted to securely keep the secret. The recommended way for SPAs is Authorization Code Flow With PKCE (not Implicit). You should look into implementing that.

Edit: To do that you need to set RequireClientSecret = false and RequirePkce = true in your client settings.
