Use CyberArk to store passwords in a centralized and secure digital vault to secure passwords that were previously stored in clear text and secured by file access, or that were previously encrypted via a second file.

CyberArk AIM (Application Identity Management) prevents unauthorized access by eliminating
hard-coded and visible passwords. AIM stores passwords in a digital vault on an independent
hardened server, where the passwords are represented as digital credentials. The AIM clients (the
Edge proxy servers) use CyberArk digital credentials and access the independent server to
retrieve the secured passwords. No passwords are stored on the Edge proxy servers or in the
instance.

## CyberArk digital vault credentials {#cyberark-integration-edge-proxy__section_lzy_vr1_sdb}

You must purchase and configure CyberArk before you can set up CyberArk integration with the
Edge proxy server.

To add a credential to CyberArk (which is read by the Edge proxy), set the Platform Name of the credential to Unix via SSH and make sure you
either create a Custom credential Name or write
down the Auto-generated credential Name. When you
configure the Edge proxy to use this credential, the proxy server matches this credential
Name to the setting in the proxy.


Each credential entry holds a Password that is being secured, as well as a credential Name used by an application to access that password.  
Hinweis:  
CyberArk credentials are not encryption keys.

## Adding CyberArk during an Edge proxy installation {#cyberark-integration-edge-proxy__section_tcr_ys1_sdb}

The proxy installer includes a new configuration page for a CyberArk integration. This page is
optional if you do not want to include CyberArk when installing your proxy with the proxy
installer. You can also manually set up and configure CyberArk integration in the configuration
file.

The proxy installer also includes a new page for CyberArk protected credentials. This page
allows configurations of different properties using a single credential name or multiple
credential names. This page is optional if you do not want to include CyberArk when installing
your proxy with the proxy installer.

## CyberArk password protection {#cyberark-integration-edge-proxy__section_qc4_pzb_h2b}

Any password field in the Edge proxy installer that has a CyberArk credential configured in
the CyberArk vault and specified on the CyberArk Protected Credentials page of the installer is
grayed out and contains the message Protected by CyberArk.
