Configure targets with credential brokering
The following section provides steps to configure your targets with credential brokering. When you use credential brokering, Boundary returns credentials to the user when they successfully connect to a target.
Requirements
You must have an existing target available.
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.
- To configure a Vault credential store and credential library, refer to Create Vault credential stores.
You must have a static credential saved in your static credential store or Vault credential store. The credential must correspond to the target you want to authenticate to.

- Log in to Boundary.
- Select Orgs on the navigation pane.
- Select your desired org.
- Select the project where your target resides.
