Tip

If KV is already enabled, reuse the existing mount path.

  1. Go to Secrets Engines -> secret.
  2. Click Create secret +.
  3. Enter name.

  4. Add key-value pairs.

  5. Click Save.

Create a connection

  2. In the Create Connection wizard, go to the Main tab, choose a Configuration Name and enter the Secret Name in the Secret Parameters section.

    Note

    Secret name format depends on the provider. See Secret name format.

  3. If required fields are missing in the secret, enter them manually.

  4. Click Test to verify your settings.
  5. Click Create to save the connection.
