# Configure targets with credential injection
|
|
|
|
<EnterpriseAlert product="boundary">This feature requires <a href="https://www.hashicorp.com/products/boundary">HCP Boundary or Boundary Enterprise</a></EnterpriseAlert>
|
|
|
|
The following section provides steps to configure your targets with credential injection.
|
|
Credential injection provides end users with a passwordless experience when they connect to targets.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- This feature requires either <a href="https://www.hashicorp.com/products/boundary">HCP Boundary or Boundary Enterprise</a>
|
|
- You must have an existing target available. If you use the SSH target type, the target must be configured with an injected application credential.
|
|
|
|
- You must have configured either a static credential store or a Vault credential store:
|
|
|
|
- To configure a static credential store, refer to [Create static credential stores](/boundary/docs/configuration/credential-management/static-cred-boundary).
|
|
- To configure a Vault credential store and credential library, refer to [Create Vault credential stores](/boundary/docs/configuration/credential-management/static-cred-vault).
|
|
|
|
- You must have a static credential saved in your static credential store or Vault credential store. The credential must correspond to the target to which you want to authenticate.
|
|
|
|

|
```shell-session
|
|
$ boundary authenticate
|
|
Please enter the login name (it will be hidden):
|
|
Please enter the password (it will be hidden):
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Add credential injection to target.
|
|
|

```shell-session
|
|
$ boundary targets add-credential-sources \
|
|
-id ttcp_vO60a7TwpI \
|
|
-injected-application-credential-source csvlt_Xqa6V6QwfM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
|
|
If you are using a static credential store, `brokered-credential-source` refers to the ID of a **credential** in the static credential store.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Vault credential store, `brokered-credential-source` refers to the ID of a **credential library** in the Vault credential store.
