  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Connection">
    Select the **Venafi TLS Protect Cloud** option from the connection options modal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Connection Details">
    Configure the following fields:

    * **Name**: A friendly name for this Venafi connection (e.g., "Production Venafi")
    * **Method**: The authentication method. Currently only **API Key** is supported.
    * **Region**: The region of your Venafi TLS Protect Cloud instance. Supported regions:
      * US (United States)
      * EU (Europe)
      * AU (Australia)
      * UK (United Kingdom)
      * SG (Singapore)
      * CA (Canada)
    * **API Key**: The API key from your Venafi TLS Protect Cloud dashboard

    Click **Connect to Venafi** to validate your credentials and create the connection.

    <Note>
      Infisical validates the API key by connecting to the Venafi TLS Protect Cloud API during connection creation.
      If the validation fails, check that your API key is correct and that you have selected the right region.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connection Created">
    Your **Venafi Connection** is now available for use with internal intermediate CAs in your Infisical projects.
