Set up BlueCat for Integration

Set up BlueCat for IPAM integration with IoT Security through Cortex XSOAR.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • IoT Security (Managed by IoT Security)
  • IoT Security subscription for an advanced IoT Security product (Enterprise Plus, Industrial OT, or Medical)
One of the following Cortex XSOAR setups:
  • An IoT Security Third-party Integration Add-on license that includes a cohosted, limited-featured Cortex XSOAR instance
    AND
    A Cortex XSOAR Engine (on-premises integration)
  • A full-featured Cortex XSOAR server
These instructions are based on BlueCat Address Manager v9.4.0. IoT Security supports BlueCat Address Manager v9.1.0 and later.
When an XSOAR engine connects to a BlueCat Address Manager, it must authenticate itself by presenting a valid username and password belonging to a user account with API access and read-only privileges. It can either use an existing user account or one that you create specifically for it.
  1. Log in to the BlueCat Address Manager with which you want Cortex XSOAR to connect.
    After logging in to the BlueCat Address Manager, note the IP address or hostname. You will need it when configuring the BlueCat Address Manager instance in Cortex XSOAR later.
  2. Create a user account for Cortex XSOAR to use.
    Select AdministrationUsers and Groups+ (Add) and then enter the following:
    Username: Enter a username for the XSOAR engine to use when connecting to the BlueCat API.
    Password and Confirm Password: Enter a password for the XSOAR engine to use.
    Email Address: Enter the email of the administrator who’s responsible for this user account.
    Administrator: (clear)
    Access Type: API
  3. Add the user account.
