# External Client App OAuth Policies Configuration

The OAuth policies file is an important part of the external client app OAuth plugin that is generated with default values during deployment. Admins for the subscriber org configure the OAuth policies file for their specific use case.

Along with the OAuth policies file, a separate directory is created called extlClntAppOauthPolicies. Admins have the option to provide their own policies file that must be follow a set naming convention: \[ECAPP\_OAUTH\_POLICY\].ecaOauthPlcy-meta.xml. If no policies file exists, one is created with default values for required settings when the external client app is deployed.
