## Connecting to Vault

Select the option **Auto Connect to Vault** to enable Vault Toolbox to automatically connect to Vault when you open the project. This skips the typical [authentication process](/regulatory/vault-toolbox/intellij-plugin/guides/authentication).

There may be times where a user is unable to authenticate to Vault using Vault Toolbox, such as during a Vault upgrade. Set a value for the **Connection Timeout** to define how long Vault Toolbox should attempt to connect to the server. If Vault Toolbox does not successfully establish a connection within this specified duration, it aborts the login attempt and returns a timeout error. By default, the connection timeout is 15 seconds.

## Allowing All Certificates

Vault Toolbox uses the open-source Vault API Library (VAPIL) and requires public HTTPS certificates as a default. To use Vault Toolbox with a personal virtual machine (PVM), you must enable **Allow All Certificates**.

## Setting Default Values

You can save time by setting default values for authentication parameters and have them be used for further projects that you create. The following default settings are available:

*   **Default Vault DNS**: The default Vault DNS to use for new projects.
*   **Default Authentication Type**: The default authentication method: **Basic** or **Session**.
*   **Default Username**: The default username to use for new projects.
