# Install

{% embed url="<https://github.com/lensesio/secret-provider/releases>" %}
Secret Provider Releases
{% endembed %}

Add the plugin to the worker `classloader` isolation via the **`plugin.path`** option:

```properties
plugin.path=/usr/share/connectors,/opt/secret-providers
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
For **Azure** do not use the classloader isolation (`plugin.path`) that Kafka Connect provides. The Azure SDK uses the default classloader and will not find the HTTP client.
{% endhint %}

## Secret Rotation

To allow for secret rotation add **`config.action.reload`** to your Connect workers properties files.

This property accepts one of two options:

1. **none** - No action happens at a connector failure (e.g. it can no longer connect to an external system)
2. **restart** - The work will schedule a restart of the connector

{% hint style="danger" %}
Secrets will only be reloaded if the Connector restarts.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lenses.io/latest/connectors/secret-providers/install.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
