# HashiCorp Vault

Linking your secrets in HashiCorp Vault to Remote Desktop Manager sessions allows credentials to be injected automatically when launching connections, eliminating the need for manual copying and reducing the risk of exposure. This topic covers the settings for the entry located under ***Add new entry*** – ***Credential management*** – ***HashiCorp Vault***.

### Injecting HashiCorp Vault credentials in a session

Learn how to retrieve and inject stored credentials from HashiCorp Vault directly into your sessions. Supported session types include RDP, SSH, VNC, SFTP, and more.

In this example, we will create an RDP session. Go to ***Add new entry*** – ***Session*** – ***RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop)***. In the ***Credentials*** field, select ***Linked (vault)*** and choose the HashiCorp Vault entry you previously created that contains your credentials. Once you have filled in the required RDP settings, click ***Add*** or ***Save and open*** to launch the session.
