# Nutanix Prism Central connection

> Learn how to configure a Nutanix Prism Central Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to Nutanix Prism Central using either Basic Auth credentials or an API Key to manage SSL certificates on your clusters.

## Setup

> [tab] Infisical UI
>
> **1. Gather Nutanix Credentials**
>
> You'll need the following from your Nutanix Prism Central instance:
>
> * **Hostname**: The FQDN or IP address of your Prism Central instance (e.g., `pc.acme.com`).
> * **Port**: The API port (default: `9440`).
> * **Auth Method**: Choose one of the following:
>   * **Basic Auth**: A Prism Central user account with the **Cluster Admin** role on the target cluster.
>
>   * **API Key**: Create a Service Account with the **Cluster Admin** role on the target cluster and generate a key.
>
> > [!NOTE]
> >
> > The account or API key must have permission to read cluster information and manage SSL certificates on the target cluster.
>
> > [!WARNING]
> >
> > Nutanix Prism Central instances on private networks (e.g., `10.x.x.x`, `192.168.x.x`) are blocked by default. For self-hosted Infisical, set the `ALLOW_INTERNAL_IP_CONNECTIONS=true` environment variable, or use an [Infisical Gateway](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/gateways/overview.md) to reach your Prism Central instance.
>
> **2. Navigate to App Connections**
>
> In Certificate Manager, go to **Settings** > **App Connections** and select **Add Connection**.
>
> ![App Connections Tab](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/general/add-connection.png)
>
> **3. Select Nutanix Prism Central**
>
> Select the **Nutanix Prism Central** option from the list of available connections.
>
> **4. Fill in Connection Details**
>
> Fill in the connection form:
>
> * **Name**: A label for this connection (e.g., `prod-prism-central`).
> * **Hostname**: The FQDN or IP address of your Prism Central instance.
> * **Port** (Optional): API port, default is `9440`.
> * **Auth Method**: Select **API Key** or **Basic Auth**:
>   * *API Key*: Enter your API key.
>   * *Basic Auth*: Enter your **Username** and **Password**.
>
> Configure the **SSL** tab:
>
> * **SSL Certificate** (Optional): A CA certificate in PEM format to verify the Prism Central instance's TLS certificate.
> * **Reject Unauthorized**: When enabled, Infisical will only connect if Prism Central has a valid, trusted TLS certificate. Disable for self-signed certificates or provide a CA certificate.
>
> Optionally select a **Gateway** to route the connection through an [Infisical Gateway](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/gateways/overview.md) when Prism Central is hosted in an air-gapped or private network.
>
> Click **Connect to Nutanix Prism Central** to validate and save the connection. Infisical will verify connectivity before saving.
>
> **5. Connection Created**
>
> Your Nutanix Prism Central Connection is now available for use with certificate syncs.

> [tab] API
>
> To create a Nutanix Prism Central Connection, make an API request to the [Create App Connection](https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/endpoints/app-connections/nutanix-prism-central/create.md) endpoint.
>
> ### Sample request (basic auth)
