How to Edit a MISP Server Connection#

This topic provides step-by-step instructions for editing a MISP server connection in TheHive.

Upgrading MISP from 2.4.x to 2.5.x

If you have upgraded MISP from version 2.4.x to 2.5.x, ensure that you update the database configuration in MISP to avoid potential issues.

Required permissions for managing MISP server connections

Only users with an admin-type profile that has the managePlatform permission can manage MISP server connections in TheHive.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Platform management view from the sidebar menu.

    Platform management


  2. Select the Connectors tab.

    Connectors tab


  3. Select the MISP tab.

    MISP tab


  4. Enter the time interval between each event polling from TheHive to MISP.

    Configuration for all MISP servers

    This time interval applies to all MISP servers connected to TheHive.


  5. Select the server you want to edit.


  6. In the Set up the server drawer, enter the following information in the General settings section:

    - Server name

    A name for the connection. Use explicit, precise names for each connection if you have multiple servers configured in TheHive.

    - Server URL

    The URL of the MISP server to connect with. For example: https://misp.mycompany.com.

    - API key

    The API key for the dedicated MISP account. You can find the API key under the My Profile page (/users/view/me) on your MISP instance.

    - Purpose

    The purpose of this connection indicates what actions you are allowed to perform with the server:


  7. In the Proxy settings section, select the proxy settings you want to apply:

    • Default configuration
    • Disabled
    • Enabled:
      • Enter the type of protocol, either HTTP or HTTPS.
      • Enter the IP address or domain name of the proxy server.
      • Enter the port number used by the proxy server.
      • Turn on the Authentication toggle if you want to require a username and password to authenticate with the proxy server.

  8. Add a certificate authority.

    For more information about configuring SSL, refer to the Configure SSL topic.

    Only use certificates from trusted, predefined authorities for secure connections; you can't use custom certificate authorities.

    You can turn off the Don't check certificate authority toggle to bypass certificate validation, but this isn't recommended as it may compromise connection security.


  9. Turn on the Disable host name verification toggle if you want to bypass the verification of the server's host name against the certificate.


  10. In the Advanced settings section, enter the following information:

    - Choose the filter on TheHive organizations

    By default, all your organizations in TheHive benefit from this connection.

    The following options are available:

    • Include all organizations
    • Include selected organizations
    • Exclude selected organizations

    - Tags

    The tags to be appended to alerts when importing MISP events.

    - Export case tags

    Exports the case tags to the MISP event.

    - Export observables tags

    Exports the tags from the observables to the MISP event.

    - Export TheHive URL

    Exports the TheHive case link to the MISP event.


  11. In the Filter settings section, enter the following information:

    - Maximum age

    The maximum age, based on the creation date, for an event to be imported into TheHive.

    - Organizations to include

    Import only events created by the MISP organizations defined in this field are imported.

    - Organizations to exclude

    Only events not created by the MISP organizations defined in this field are imported.

    - Maximum number of attributes

    The maximum number of MISP attributes, corresponding to observables in TheHive, per event to import.

    - List of allowed tags

    Only events containing the tags defined in this field are imported.

    - Prohibited tags list

    Only events that don't contain the tags defined in this field are imported.


  12. Select Test server connection to verify your connection.


  13. Select Update.
