The Secret Manager initializes the secret repository and the keystores. It uses secret repository to keep the secret values (encrypted values). These secrets can be accessed through aliases. The keystore is required to create the decryption crypto, which can be used to resolve encrypted secrets values. The keystore and secret repository are configurable nd the configuration can be done through the 'secret-conf.properties' file found in $GREG_HOME/repository/conf/security/ directory.
