# Enabling SecureData Encryption on Managed Connectors

SecureData can be enabled as part of the Instant Connector Deployment process. However, you can also enable SecureData encryption on connectors or containers you already manage in ArcMC.

To enable SecureData encryption on connectors or containers you already manage in ArcMC:

1. Ensure that the remote VM can communicate with the SecureData server. If not, edit the hosts file or configure DNS to enable communication.

2. If there is a certificate for the SecureData server, make sure it is successfully imported to the remote VM.

3. Ensure proxy settings allow the SecureData client to communicate with the SecureData server.
4. Install the SecureData client manually on the remote VM where the connectors reside.
5. Finally, in ArcMC, select the connectors or containers. Perform the Modify Property operation and provide the necessary SecureData and proxy details.
