## 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.keeper.io/keeperpam/privileged-access-manager/password-rotation/rotation-use-cases/local-network.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.
