# Kemp LoadMaster Connection

> Learn how to configure a Kemp LoadMaster Connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to Progress Kemp LoadMaster load balancers using basic authentication credentials for managing SSL certificates via the RESTful API.

## Setup

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Infisical UI">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Enable the LoadMaster API Interface">
        On the LoadMaster, go to **Certificates & Security > Remote Access** and enable the **API Interface** checkbox. The RESTful API is disabled by default, and certificate management requires it to be enabled.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Gather Kemp LoadMaster Credentials">
        You will need the following from your LoadMaster:

        * **Hostname**: The management IP address or FQDN of your LoadMaster (for example `192.168.1.100` or `lm.example.com`).
        * **Port**: The HTTPS management port (default `8443`).
        * **Username**: A user with permission to manage SSL certificates.
        * **Password**: The password for the user account.

        <Note>
          The user account must have permission to manage SSL certificates and, if you bind certificates to a Virtual Service, to modify Virtual Services.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Navigate to App Connections">
        In Certificate Manager, navigate to **Settings > App Connections** and click **Add Connection**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select Kemp LoadMaster">
        Select the **Kemp LoadMaster** option from the list of available connections.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Fill in Connection Details">
        Fill in the **Configuration** tab:

        * **Hostname**: The management IP or FQDN of the LoadMaster.
        * **Username**: The LoadMaster management username.
        * **Password**: The password for the management user.
        * **Port** (Optional): HTTPS port for the management interface (default `8443`).

        Configure the **SSL** tab:

        * **SSL Certificate** (Optional): A CA certificate in PEM format to verify the LoadMaster management interface's TLS certificate.
        * **Reject Unauthorized**: When enabled, Infisical will only connect if the LoadMaster has a valid, trusted TLS certificate. Disable this for self-signed certificates or provide a CA certificate.

        Optionally select a **Gateway** to route the connection through an Infisical Gateway for private network access.

        Click **Connect to Kemp LoadMaster** to validate and save your connection.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Connection Created">
        Your Kemp LoadMaster Connection is now available for use with certificate syncs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API">
    To create a Kemp LoadMaster Connection, make an API request to the [Create App Connection](/docs/api-reference/endpoints/app-connections/kemp-loadmaster/create) endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
    curl --request POST \
      --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/app-connections/kemp-loadmaster \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --data '{
        "name": "my-kemp-connection",
        "method": "basic-auth",
        "credentials": {
          "hostname": "lm.example.com",
          "port": 8443,
          "username": "bal",
          "password": "your-password",
          "sslRejectUnauthorized": false
        }
      }'
    ```

    ### Sample response

    ```json Response theme={"dark"}
    {
      "appConnection": {
        "id": "3c90c3cc-0d44-4b50-8888-8dd25736052a",
        "name": "my-kemp-connection",
        "app": "kemp-loadmaster",
        "method": "basic-auth",
        "credentials": {
          "hostname": "lm.example.com",
          "port": 8443,
          "username": "bal",
          "sslRejectUnauthorized": false
        }
      }
