# Setup

The Raydius React Auth SDK allows you to authenticate your users with Raydius in your React app. Before integrating Raydius, you need to use Raydius’s developer console to create and configure your apps and retrieve your API keys.

**App ID**

Your app ID is used to identify your Raydius app. This value is automatically generated when your app is created and is immutable.

Your app ID is a public value and is safe to expose on your frontend.

**App Verification Key**

Your app verification key is used to verify auth tokens that were signed by Raydius for your app. You may use this as part of your authorization workflows, e.g., verifying that requests to your backend were made by an authenticated user. See our docs for best practices around authorization.

**App Secret**

Your app secret is necessary to authenticate API requests to Raydius from your backend. You can make requests to Raydius’s API to get your users' data, delete users from your app, verify auth tokens issued by Raydius, and more.

Raydius does not store your app secret. If you do not know your current app secret, or if your current app secret has been compromised, you may reset it through the developer console. Upon resetting your app secret, please make sure to save it somewhere safe, as you will not be able to see it again after leaving the page.

Your app secret is a sensitive value that gives you permission to manage Raydius from your backend. Please do not expose it outside of your backend server.
