Description This article describes the default behavior of the External resource for TAXII(STIX).
Scope FortiGate v7.4
Solution

If it is not set with 'type', it is set as 'category' by default.

 

At that time, the retrieved content from Taxii can be loaded as a category. e.g., if there is a 'domain' category in the STIX page, FortiGate reflects this category in the External Feeds page.

 

From CLI:

 

FGT1801F-TFEED (vdom1) (Interim)# sh fu sys external-resource stix-category

config system external-resource

    edit "stix-category"

        set uuid af0dfc6e-47d0-51f0-049b-866b39d01808

        set status enable

        set type category           <----- If it is not set with 'type', it is set as 'category' by default.

        set update-method feed

        set category 192

        set client-cert-auth disable

        set comments ''

        set resource "stix://172.16.200.209:9443/taxii/collections/100/objects/"

        set user-agent ''

        set server-identity-check none

        set refresh-rate 5

        set source-ip 0.0.0.0

        set interface-select-method auto

        set vrf-select 0

    next

end
