 `SECRET_STORE_NAME` is the name of the configured [secret store component]({{< ref supported-secret-stores >}}). When running in Kubernetes and using a Kubernetes secret store, the field `auth.SecretStore` defaults to `kubernetes` and can be left empty.
 
-The above component definition tells Dapr to extract a secret named `redis-secret` from the defined secret store and assign the value of the `redis-password` key in the secret to the `redisPassword` field in the Component.
+The above component definition tells Dapr to extract a secret named `redis-secret` from the defined `secretStore` and assign the value associated with the `redis-password` key embedded in the secret to the `redisPassword` field in the component. One use of this case is when your code is constructing a connection string, for example putting together a URL, a secret, plus other information as necessary, into a string.
+
+On the other hand, the below "Secret is a string" case applies when there is NOT a key embedded in the secret. Rather, the secret is just a string. Therefore, in the `secretKeyRef` section both the secret `name` and the secret `key` will be identical. This is the case when the secret itself is an entire connection string with no embedded key whose value needs to be extracted. Typically a connection string consists of connection information, some sort of secret to allow connection, plus perhaps other information and does not require a separate "secret". This case is shown in the below component definition yaml.
+
+```yml
+apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+  name: servicec-inputq-azkvsecret-asbqueue
+spec:
+  type: bindings.azure.servicebusqueues

+      key: asbNsConnString
+  -name: queueName
+   value: servicec-inputq
+auth:
+secretStore: <SECRET_STORE_NAME>
+
+```
+The above "Secret is a string" case yaml tells Dapr to extract a connection string named `asbNsConnstring` from the defined `secretStore` and assign the value to the `connectionString` field in the component since there is no key embedded in the "secret" from the `secretStore` because it is a plain string. This requires the secret `name` and secret `key` to be identical.

 ## Feature and deprecations
 There is a process for announcing feature deprecations.  Deprecations are applied two (2) releases after the release in which they were announced. For example Feature X is announced to be deprecated in the 1.0.0 release notes and will then be removed in 1.2.0.
