The certificate management experience for external communications uses Azure Key vault as the managed vault solution on the cloud. Certificates are added to the key vault as secrets and synchronized to the edge as Kubernetes secrets via [Azure Key Vault Secret Store extension](/azure/azure-arc/kubernetes/secret-store-extension).

For example, the connector for OPC UA uses the certificate management experience to configure OPC UA client application authentication to an external OPC UA server. When you [deploy Azure IoT Operations with secure settings](../deploy-iot-ops/overview-deploy.md#secure-settings-deployment), you can start adding certificates to Azure Key Vault, and sync them to the edge to be used in the *Trust list* and *Issuer list* stores for OPC UA connections:

For example, the connector for OPC UA uses the certificate management experience to configure OPC UA client application authentication to an external OPC UA server. All trusted certificates are consolidated into a single secret sync resource at the edge. Azure IoT Operations manages two distinct certificate stores for OPC UA connector: one for the *Trust list* and one for the *Issuer list*. The mapping between the certificate stores and the secret sync resource at the edge is managed by Azure IoT Operations to ensure secure and consistent certificate handling. To learn more about OPC UA application authentication, see [OPC UA certificates infrastructure for the connector for OPC UA](../discover-manage-assets/overview-opcua-broker-certificates-management.md).

- **Add from Azure Key Vault**: synchronizes an existing secret in key vault down to the edge if it wasn't synchronized before. Selecting this option shows you the list of secret references in the selected key vault. Use this option if you created the secret in the key vault beforehand. *Only the latest version of the secret is synced to the edge*.

1. When you add the username and password references to the asset endpoints or data flow endpoints, you then need to give the synchronized secret a name.

You can use the **Secrets** page to view synchronized secrets in your asset endpoints and data flow endpoints. Secrets page shows the list of all current synchronized secrets at the edge for the resource you are viewing. A synced secret represents one or multiple secret references, depending on the resource using it. Any operation applied to a synced secret will be applied to all secret references contained within the synced secret.

You can delete synced secrets as well in the **Secrets** page. When you delete a synced secret, it only deletes the synced secret from the edge, and doesn't delete the contained secret reference from Azure Key Vault. You must delete the certificate secret manually from the key vault.
