# Set up Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) credentials in Duaer

Store Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) connection details in Duaer for digital-organization nodes to use at runtime. Secrets are protected by the instance encryption key and are not written into node parameters.
## Create a Cisco Secure Endpoint API client <a href="#create-an-api-client" id="create-an-api-client"></a>

The Duaer Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) API credential uses OAuth client credentials:

1. In Cisco XDR (formerly SecureX), create a client under Administration > API Clients with the Secure Endpoint scopes.
2. Put Client ID and Client Secret in the credential and set Region to your console’s region: North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific, Japan, and China.

Duaer has no dedicated node for this service. In the HTTP Request node, set Authentication to Predefined Credential Type and pick the Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) API credential. Refer to [custom operations](/integrations/custom-operations.md).

## Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) API fields in Duaer <a href="#cisco-secure-endpoint-amp-api" id="cisco-secure-endpoint-amp-api"></a>

In Duaer, choose Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) API when you create a credential, then fill in these fields:

- Region: Default: North America. Options: Asia Pacific, Japan, and China, Europe, North America.
- Client ID (required)
- Client Secret (required, secret)

When you save, Duaer tests the connection with these values.

## Save the connection in Duaer

Open Credentials and create Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP). Fill in the key, OAuth, or server fields. After you save, digital-organization nodes reference this credential instead of putting the secret in a parameter.

Credential values are protected by the instance encryption key. If you change or lose that key, stored credentials cannot be decrypted. See the hosting notes on encryption keys. 

## Who can use this credential

Who can see or edit it follows projects and roles. Do not paste secrets into chat or variables. External vaults are covered under external secrets.
## Questions

### Do Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) secret values appear in Duaer node parameters?

No. In Duaer, Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) secrets stay in the credential. Nodes only reference the credential. Execution records should not show the plaintext secret either.

### What usually stops a Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) credential from saving in Duaer?

Wrong fields, an OAuth callback that does not match the instance URL, or a role that cannot create credentials. Check the fields Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) expects, then confirm you can create credentials in that project.
