## Create a credential

There are two ways to access the Credentials configuration area.

The first way is through the Quick Actions menu, located in the navigation bar. To configure a credential using Quick Actions, follow the steps below:

1. Click on the **Quick Actions** icon, represented by a piece of paper with a plus sign, and select **Credential**.

The second way is by accessing it through the **Products Menu**. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. In Segura™, on the navigation bar, hover over the **Products Menu** and select **PAM Core**.
2. In the side menu, select **Credentials** > **All Credentials**.
3. In the actions menu, click **Add**.

Both actions will open a new screen with the credential registration form. Fill in the following information to configure the new credential:

In the **Information** tab, fill in:

1. **Username**: choose the username.
2. **Password type**: choose **Local Admin** or **Local User**.
3. **Device**: choose the device of type database.
4. **Status**: activate the button.
5. **Set current password**: it is not necessary to create a password, as authentication will be done via the certificate.

In the **Session Settings** tab, go to the **Certificate** section and fill in:

1. In the **Certificate file** option, click **Drag and drop the file here** and upload the `<CREDENTIAL>.crt` certificate file created earlier for the credential.
2. In the **Key file** option, click **Drag and drop the file here** and upload the `<CREDENTIAL>.key` key file created earlier for the credential.
3. If your key has a password, enter it in the **Key password** field.
          **Attention**

          

If the user used a password to create the certificate, the same password created by the user must be entered in this field.
4. Go to the **Review** tab.
5. Click **Save**.

The system will display a confirmation message, certifying that the credential is registered.

Finishing the fifth step of configuring Oracle to be used via Database Proxy, access the document [How to configure Oracle Wallet automation credential](/v4-2/docs/pam-sessions-how-to-configure-oracle-wallet-automation-credential) to perform the sixth step of the configuration.
