Configure Web File Repository in Cortex#

ParameterDescriptionRequired
Incident typeFalse
Long running instanceFalse
Port mapping (<port> or <host port>:<docker port>)Runs the service on this port from within Cortex XSOAR. Requires a unique port for each long-running integration instance. Do not use the same port for multiple instances. Note: If you click the test button more than once, a failure may occur mistakenly indicating that the port is already in use. (For Cortex XSOAR 8 and Cortex XSIAM) If you do not enter a port, an unused port for Web File Repository will automatically be generated when the instance is saved. However, if using an engine, you must enter a port.True
User ID for Read/WriteFalse
PasswordFalse
User ID for Read-OnlyFalse

How to Access the File Management UI#

Access the File Management UI by URL and Port (HTTP)#

In a web browser, go to http://<cortex-xsoar-server-address>:<listen_port>.

Access the File Management UI by Instance Name (HTTPS)#

To access the File Management UI by instance name, make sure Instance execute external is enabled.

  1. In Cortex XSOAR 6.x:

    1. Navigate to Settings > About > Troubleshooting.
    2. In the Server Configuration section, verify that the instance.execute.external.<instance_name> key is set to true. If this key does not exist, click + Add Server Configuration and add the instance.execute.external.<instance_name> and set the value to true. See this documentation for further information.
  2. In a web browser:

    • For Cortex XSOAR 6.x: Go to https://<cortex-xsoar-address>/instance/execute/<instance_name>.

    • For Cortex XSOAR 8 On-prem, Cortex XSOAR 8 Cloud, or Cortex XSIAM: Go to https://ext-<tenant>.crtx.<region>.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar/instance/execute/<instance-name>.

    • For Multi Tenant environments: Go to https://<cortex-xsoar-address>/acc_<account name>/instance/execute/<instance_name>.

      Note:
      For Cortex XSOAR 8 On-prem, you need to add the ext- FQDN DNS record to map the Cortex XSOAR DNS name to the external IP address.
      For example, ext-xsoar.mycompany.com.
