Example: https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token Auth methods - authentication method available at the provider (Basic/Post) Client ID - client ID of the provider (available in the provider's SSO service) Client secret - password of the client at the provider (available in the service of SSO provider).

Account start balanceDemo-account start balance (e.g., 50 000)

Nettings settingsdefault netting settings
Tariffdefault tariff settings
Aggregator settingsdefault aggregator settings
Tax profiledefault tax profile

Aggregator settings: Default is the only important setting when creating a DEMO broker. It is needed to apply the settings to the automatically created general account for the instance. So this account will be used to set prices. Demo clients will only have access to the instruments that are available with the current aggregator settings. The other settings can be set from any of the available instruments sets.

Please note! The Demo environment option is only set for demo environments. Do not set it unnecessarily to avoid undesirable system behaviour.

After creation, the demo broker will appear in the list of brokers available to you. Demo broker settings are similar to those of a main broker.

Please note! The settings of the demo broker will not affect the settings of the main broker.
