# Use CyberArk as a secure configuration provider

# Use CyberArk as a secure configuration provider {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated April 29, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
You can use a CyberArk vault to secure any sensitive data from the MID Server
config.xml file.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

Before configuring CyberArk as secured config provider, make sure that
JavaPasswordSDK.jar is available in the
`<mid_installation_folder>/agent/extlib` folder.

To configure the MID Server to connect to CyberArk using AIM, see CyberArk JAR import.

## About this task

CyberArk is commonly used to secure credentials in its external vault. However, a MID
Server parameter in the config.xml file enables you to store
other types of data in CyberArk.

## Procedure

1. Open the config.xml file in a text editor.  
   This file is located in the /agent folder in your MID Server installation path.
2. Enable this parameter and value:  
   `<parameter name="mid.secure_config.provider"
   value="com.service_now.mid.services.config.CyberArkSecuredConfigProvider"/>`
3. Configure specific data to secure in the CyberArk vault.  
   Use the following example as a guide.
   1. Secure the MID Server credentials by setting this parameter to match the ID and Type for that data in your [CyberArk
      integration configuration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_CyberArkIntegrationConfiguration&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).  

          <parameter name="mid.instance.username" secure="true" value="cyberark: id=<Full account name>, type=<Platform name>"/>
          <parameter name="mid.instance.password" secure="true" value="cyberark: id=<Full account name, type=<Platform name>"/>

   2. Secure the URL of the instance by setting this parameter to match the ID and Type for that data in your CyberArk configuration.  
      `<parameter name="url" secure="true" value="cyberark:
      id=<`CyberArk ID`>, type=<`CyberArk type`>"/>`
   {#use-cyberark-secure-config-provider__substeps_l3h_yn1_lbb}
4. Save the configuration file.
5. Restart the MID Server.
