Microsoft Graph API

This Integration is part of the Microsoft Graph API Pack.#

Use the Microsoft Graph API integration to interact with Microsoft APIs that do not have dedicated integrations in Cortex XSOAR, for example, Mail Single-User, etc.

Note: In this documentation, we will use the Application resource type as an example.

Authorization#

In order to use the integration, there are 2 application authentication methods available.

Note: Depending on the authentication method that you use, the integration parameters might change.

Cortex XSOAR Azure app#

In this method, the device authorization grant flow is used.

To configure the integration:

The Application ID integration parameter should be set to 8922dd2d-7539-4711-b839-374f86083959 (the Cortex XSOAR Azure app ID).
The Scope integration parameter should be set according to the requested OAuth2 permissions types to grant access to in Microsoft identity platform, for more details see the Microsoft documentation. For example, if we wish to use the List applications API, we need at least the Application.Read.All scope.
The Application Secret and the Tenant ID integration parameters should be left blank.
Run the msgraph-api-auth-start command - you will be prompted to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the generated code.
Run the msgraph-api-auth-complete command
Run the msgraph-api-test command to ensure connectivity to Microsoft.

Self Deployed Azure app#

For more information, refer to the following article.

Configure the Azure app#

Register the app.
Add the requested API permissions according to the APIs you wish to use. For example, according to the Create application API documentation in order to create applications we need the Application.ReadWrite.All application permission.
Grant admin consent for the chosen permissions.

Note: The integration stores in cache the API access token based on the permissions it is first run with, so if the permissions are modified, it is recommended to create a new instance of the integration.

Configure Microsoft Graph API on Cortex XSOAR#

Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Servers & Services.
Search for Microsoft Graph API.
Click Add instance to create and configure a new integration instance.

Parameter	Description	Required
Azure Cloud	See option table below.	False
Application ID		False
Application Secret (Required for using Self Deployed Azure app)		False
Tenant ID (Required for using Self Deployed Azure app)		False
Application redirect URI (for Self Deployed - Authorization Code Flow)		False
Authorization code (for Self Deployed - Authorization Code Flow)		False
Certificate Thumbprint		False
Private Key		False
Certificate Thumbprint	Used for certificate authentication. As appears in the "Certificates & secrets" page of the app.	False
Private Key	Used for certificate authentication. The private key of the registered certificate.	False
Use a self-deployed Azure Application	Select this checkbox if you are using a self-deployed Azure application.	False
Use Azure Managed Identities	Relevant only if the integration is running on Azure VM. If selected, authenticates based on the value provided for the Azure Managed Identities Client ID field. If no value is provided for the Azure Managed Identities Client ID field, authenticates based on the System Assigned Managed Identity. For additional information, see the Help tab.	False
Azure Managed Identities Client ID	The Managed Identities client ID for authentication - relevant only if the integration is running on Azure VM.	False
Azure AD endpoint	Azure AD endpoint associated with a national cloud. See note below.	False
Scope (Required for using Cortex XSOAR Azure app)	A space-separated list of scopes that you want to consent to.	False
Trust any certificate (not secure)		False
Use system proxy settings		False

Azure cloud options

Azure Cloud	Description
Worldwide	The publicly accessible Azure Cloud
US GCC	Azure cloud for the USA Government Cloud Community (GCC)
US GCC-High	Azure cloud for the USA Government Cloud Community High (GCC-High)
DoD	Azure cloud for the USA Department of Defense (DoD)
Germany	Azure cloud for the German Government
China	Azure cloud for the Chinese Government
Custom	Custom endpoint configuration to the Azure cloud. See note below.

Note: In most cases, setting Azure cloud is preferred to setting Azure AD endpoint. Only use it in cases where a custom URL is required for accessing a national cloud.

Click Test to validate the URLs, token, and connection.

Commands#

You can execute these commands from the Cortex XSOAR CLI, as part of an automation, or in a playbook. After you successfully execute a command, a DBot message appears in the War Room with the command details.

msgraph-api-auth-start#

Run this command to start the authorization process and follow the instructions in the command results.

msgraph-api-auth-complete#

Run this command to complete the authorization process. Should be used after running the msgraph-api-auth-start command.

msgraph-api-test#

Tests connectivity to Microsoft.

msgraph-api-request#

Run a Microsoft Graph API query.

Base Command#

msgraph-api

Input#

Argument Name	Description	Required
resource	The resource in Microsoft Graph to refer.	Required
http_method	The HTTP method used for the request to Microsoft Graph. Possible values are: "GET", "POST", "DELETE", "PUT", or "PATCH". Default is "GET".	Optional
api_version	The version of the Microsoft Graph API to use. Possible values are: "v1.0" or "beta". Default is "v1.0".	Optional
request_body	The request body (required for POST queries).	Optional
odata	OData system query options, e.g. $filter=startswith(givenName, 'J'). For more details see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/query-parameters. It is recommended to use the $top query option to limit the result.	Optional
populate_context	If "true", will populate the API response to the context data. Default is "true".	Optional

Context Output#

The context data output depends on the resource executed. The populate_context argument sets whether to output to the context data, under the path MicrosoftGraph. For resources which return a large response, we recommend to narrow the results by using the odata argument or outputting to the context data using Extend Context.

msgraph-api-auth-reset#

Run this command if for some reason you need to rerun the authentication process.

Base Command#

msgraph-api-auth-reset

Input#

There are no input arguments for this command.

Context Output#

There is no context output for this command.

msgraph-api-generate-login-url#

Generate the login URL used for Authorization code flow.

Base Command#

msgraph-api-generate-login-url

Input#

There are no input arguments for this command.

Context Output#

There is no context output for this command.

Command Example#

msgraph-api-generate-login-url

Human Readable Output#

Authorization instructions#
Click on the login URL to sign in and grant Cortex XSOAR permissions for your Azure Service Management. You will be automatically redirected to a link with the following structure: REDIRECT_URI?code=AUTH_CODE&session_state=SESSION_STATE
Copy the AUTH_CODE (without the code= prefix, and the session_state parameter) and paste it in your instance configuration under the Authorization code parameter.

Usage#

Let's say we want to list all the applications.

We can see that according to the HTTP request:

The HTTP method is GET
The resource is /applications

So in order to list all the applications using the integration, we would run the command: !msgraph-api resource=/applications http_method=GET
