# AB Initio

> How to use Infisical secrets in AB Initio.

## Prerequisites

* Set up and add envars to [Infisical](https://app.infisical.com).
* Install the [Infisical CLI](https://infisical.com/docs/cli/overview) to your server.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authorize Infisical for AB Initio">
    Create a [machine identity](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/identities/machine-identities#machine-identities) in Infisical and give it the appropriate read permissions for the desired project and secret paths.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Infisical CLI to your workflow">
    Update your AB Initio workflows to use Infisical CLI to inject Infisical secrets as environment variables.

    ```bash theme={null}
    # Login using the machine identity. Modify this accordingly based on the authentication method used.
    export INFISICAL_TOKEN=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=$INFISICAL_CLIENT_ID --client-secret=$INFISICAL_CLIENT_SECRET --silent --plain)

    # Fetch secrets from Infisical
    infisical export --projectId="<>" --env="prod" > infisical.env

    # Inject secrets as environment variables
    source infisical.env
    ```
  </Step>
