Technical Tip: How to Add SSL Certificates for Connector Integrations in FortiSOAR

Description

This article describes how to add SSL certificates for connector integrations in FortiSOAR. This is required when the connector communication needs to validate a custom or internal Certificate Authority (CA).

Scope

FortiSOAR v7.6.x, FortiSOAR v7.5.x.

Solution

Step 1: Log in to the FortiSOAR CLI and navigate to the following directory:

cd /opt/cyops-integrations/.env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/certifi

Step 2: Append the required SSL certificate(s) to the cacert.pem file.

sudo vi cacert.pem

Add the certificate content at the end of the file and save the changes.

Step 3: Restart the FortiSOAR services to apply the certificate changes.

sudo csadm services --restart

Step 4: Navigate to the connector configuration and enable the SSL checkbox.

Once enabled, all communication between FortiSOAR and the connector/integration endpoint will occur over SSL using the updated certificate bundle.
