Manage credentials

Manage integration credentials in Cortex XSOAR 8.10 On-prem.

Credentials simplify and compartmentalize administrative tasks, and enable you to save login information without exposing usernames, passwords, certificates, and SSH keys. You can reuse credentials across multiple systems, for example, when using the same administrator password across multiple endpoints.

After you set up a credential, you can configure integration instances to use it instead of entering the name and password manually.

How to add credentials to an integration instance

1. Create the credential.

   1. Select Settings & Info → Settings → Integrations → Credentials → New Credential.
   2. Add the following parameters:

      Parameters	Description
      Credential Name	The name of the credential. You select this name when adding the credential to the integration instance. For example, Cortex XDR API Key.
      Username	The username for the credential.
      Workgroup	The workgroup to associate this credential with. Relevant for third-party services, such as Active Directory, CyberArk, and HashiCorps.
      Password	The password for the credential. For example, add the API Key when defining the API credential.
      Certificate	Certificate or SSH to use for the credential.

   3. Save the credential.
2. Add the credential to the integration instance.

   1. Go to Integrations → Instance and select the integration instance you want to add the credential.
   2. Click Add instance.
   3. Locate the relevant section and click Switch to credentials.

      If there is more than one credential, select the relevant credential.
   4. Test and click Save & Exit the integration.
