Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Manager Credentials

Firewall Manager API tokens authorize Workflows requests to SCC Firewall Manager and Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center (CD-FMC).

Use these account keys with Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Manager targets. A separate account key is not required for CD-FMC.

Account key setup

Prerequisites

Have permission to manage API-only users in SCC Firewall Manager, or obtain an API token from the tenant administrator. The API-only user's role must allow the operations the workflow performs.

Generating an API token

Create the token in SCC Firewall Manager:

  1. From the Security Cloud Control home page, select Firewall.
  2. Select Administration > API User Management.
  3. Select Add a new user. Enter a name in Username, select the required Role, and select Add. An existing API-only user can also be used.
  4. In the Token column, select Generate API Token for the API-only user.
  5. Select Copy API Token and save the token securely. It cannot be viewed again after the dialog is closed.

For product instructions, see Manage API-only users for SCC Firewall Management. For authentication and token lifetime details, see Firewall Manager API authentication.

Creating an account key

Complete the following steps to create a Firewall Manager account key:

  1. From the left navigation menu, select Automation > Targets.
  2. From the Account Keys tab, select New account key.
  3. On the New Account Key page, select Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Manager from the Account Key Type list.
  4. Enter a display name in Display Name and a brief description in Description.
  5. In the Credentials area, enter the following information:
    • Firewall Manager API Token: Paste only the API token. Do not include the Bearer prefix or a header name.
  6. Select Save.

Firewall Manager API tokens do not expire, but they can be revoked. If the token is replaced, update the saved account key.
