## Overview

Keeper Secrets Manager integrates with Keeper Connection Manager to provide dynamic retrieval of credentials that are stored in the Keeper Vault. This integration allows the Admin to provide privileged sessions with credentials that are stored and protected in the encrypted Keeper vault.

Using [Keeper Secrets Manager](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-LO5CAzoigGmCWBUbw9z/s/-MJXOXEifAmpyvNVL1to/), Keeper Connection Manager can securely access RDP, SSH, MySQL, VNC and other credentials from the Keeper Vault. With this integration, connection credentials are protected in the encrypted Keeper vault and never stored in plain text.  In the connection properties, you can simply reference the hostname or specified Vault record identifier and Keeper will pull the necessary credentials at runtime.  Access credentials are never exposed to the user.
