# Set up Mist credentials in Duaer

Store Mist 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 Juniper Mist API token <a href="#create-an-api-token" id="create-an-api-token"></a>

The Duaer Mist API credential:

1. In the Mist portal, open My Account > API Token, click Create Token, and put it in API Token. An org-level token from Organization > Settings also works.
2. Set Region from the portal address: Global for manage.mist.com, Europe for manage.eu.mist.com.

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

## Mist API fields in Duaer <a href="#mist-api" id="mist-api"></a>

In Duaer, choose Mist API when you create a credential, then fill in these fields:

- API Token (required, secret)
- Region: Default: Europe. Options: Europe, Global.

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

## Save the connection in Duaer

Open Credentials and create Mist. 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 Mist secret values appear in Duaer node parameters?

No. In Duaer, Mist secrets stay in the credential. Nodes only reference the credential. Execution records should not show the plaintext secret either.

### What usually stops a Mist 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 Mist expects, then confirm you can create credentials in that project.
