# AWS Secrets Manager

You can integrate Prisma Cloud with AWS Secrets Manager. First, configure Prisma Cloud to access AWS Secrets Manager, then create rules to inject the relevant secrets into the relevant containers.

**Prerequisites:**

* The service account Prisma Cloud uses to access the secrets store must have the following permissions:
  * secretsmanager:GetSecretValue
  * secretsmanager:ListSecrets
* You have [created a secret](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/manage_create-basic-secret.html) in AWS Secrets Manager. Automatic rotation must be disabled. Prisma Cloud supports the key-value secret type only. When storing a new secret, select **Other type of secrets**, then **Secret key/value**.

1. Open Prisma Cloud Console.
2. Integrate Prisma Cloud with the secrets store.
   1. Go to **Manage > Authentication > Secrets**, and click **Add store**.
   2. Enter a name for the store. This name is used when you create rules to inject secrets into specific containers.
   3. For **Type**, select **AWS Secrets Manager**, then fill out the rest of the form, including your credentials.
   4. Fill out the rest of the form, specifying how to connect to the Secrets Manager.
   5. Click **Add**.

      After clicking **Add**, Prisma Cloud tries connecting to your secrets manager. If successful, the dialog closes, and an entry is added to the table. Otherwise, connection errors are displayed directly in the configuration dialog.

      Next, [inject a secret into a container](/admin-guide/32/secrets/inject-secrets.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/32/secrets/secrets-stores/aws-secrets-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
