Palo Alto Networks Cortex Xpanse

introduction this guide explains how to authenticate the palo alto networks cortex xpanse connector in swimlane using cortex custom authentication you will generate cortex xpanse api credentials, collect the required identifiers, and configure the connector inside swimlane turbine prerequisites cortex xpanse access requirements access settings and integrations in palo alto networks cortex xpanse create and manage api keys assign roles with public api access view and manage assets, alerts, and incidents required credentials fqdn api key api key id authentication method overview the palo alto networks cortex xpanse connector uses cortex custom authentication authentication is performed using an api key and api key id associated with your cortex xpanse tenant cortex xpanse setup generate an api key take the following steps to generate an api key in palo alto networks cortex xpanse log in to the cortex xpanse console navigate to settings & info > settings > integrations > api keys click + new key select the api key type standard or advanced optionally enable an expiration date assign a role with view/edit permissions for the public api click generate copy the api key and api key id connector configuration in swimlane take the following steps to configure the connector in swimlane log in to turbine from the left hand navigation pane, click orchestration and click assets asset homepage opens click the plus icon to open the configure your connector asset window select palo alto cortex xpanse from the asset type list fill in the asset settings and asset input as shown configuration – cortex xpanse authentication field description required fqdn cortex xpanse tenant fqdn yes api key cortex xpanse api key yes api key id cortex xpanse api key id yes verify ssl verify ssl certificate optional http proxy proxy configuration optional click create troubleshooting 401 unauthorized invalid or expired api key incorrect api key id api key lacks public api permissions fix verify api key and api key id regenerate the api key if expired ensure role has public api access you have successfully authenticated the palo alto networks cortex xpanse connector in swimlane
