Configure an external credentials vault

Configure an external credentials vault in Cortex XSOAR 8.10 On-prem.

Cortex XSOAR integrates with external credential vaults, which enables you to use them without hard coding or exposing the credentials. The credentials are not stored in Cortex XSOAR, but the integration fetches the credentials from the external vault when called. The credentials are passed to the relevant executed integrations as part of the integration parameters.

Sample credentials provider integrations:

• CyberArk AIM v2
• HashiCorp Vault

After the integration is configured to fetch credentials, you can also use them in scripts and playbooks. To use these credentials in an integration, click **Switch to credentials **in an integration instance, and select the necessary credential from the drop-down menu.
