## Overview

In this section, you will learn how to rotate user credentials within a Local Network environment across various target systems.

A "local network" simply means any resource that has line of sight access from the Keeper Gateway. This configuration can be used in any cloud or managed environment. Native protocols are used to communicate to the target resources and perform rotations.

## Setup Steps

At a high level, the following steps are needed to successfully rotate passwords on a network:

1. Create Shared Folders to hold the PAM records involved in rotation
2. Create PAM Machine, PAM Database and PAM Directory records representing each resource
3. Create PAM User records that contain the necessary account credentials for each resource
4. Link the PAM User record to the PAM Resource record.
5. Assign a Secrets Manager Application to all of the shared folders that hold the PAM records
6. Install a Keeper Gateway and add it to the Secrets Manager application
7. Create a PAM Configuration with the AWS environment setting
8. Configure Rotation settings on the PAM User records
