# Introduction
The plugin basically provides the capability to enable the atlas as a secret engine which will store the ATLAS api secrets and make them persistent. The GlobalSign Atlas secret engine generates, issues, and manages certificates dynamically in your ATLAS account. This simplifies certificate issuance and life cycle management, as the engine can manage key generation, life cycle. Additionally this enables codifying and mapping issuance policy to internal authentication methods such as public cloud credentials or SSO solutions.
