Abstract

Learn how to pair the child tenant from the main tenant.

After installation of the main tenant and child tenants, pairing is required to facilitate a multi-tenant system. Tenant pairing enables resource optimization between the tenants, enhanced security by providing isolation and granular access control to the child tenants, and flexible distribution of content.

To pair the tenants, you must have a network connection, the child tenant URL and the child pairing token. In the main tenant, go to the Tenant Management page to pair the child tenant. When pairing is established, you can begin to add users, roles, and distribute content. If the tenants are not paired, the tenants cannot communicate, and content is not updated or distributed to the child tenants.

Pairing a child tenant to the main tenant:
  1. Log in to the Cortex XSOAR child tenant. When logging into the child tenant for the first time, a pairing token is generated for pairing the child tenant to the main tenant:

    Click the Copy Pairing Details to copy the child URL and pairing token to paste in the main tenant.

  2. Log in to the Cortex XSOAR main tenant and select Settings ConfigurationsTenant Management.

    The Tenant Management table displays:

    • Tenant Name: Name of the child tenant.

    • Status: State of a pairing request: Paired, Pending, Failed, Rejected.

    • Last Sync: Timestamp of when parent tenant last made contact with child tenant.

    • Propagation Labels: Either All or custom propagation labels are listed for syncing content to the child tenant.

    • Pair Date: Timestamp of when pairing occurred.

  3. Click Pair new tenant. Paste the details from the child tenant:

    Cortex XSOAR sends a Request for Pairing to the specified child tenant.

  4. Verify the parent-child pairing.

    In the Tenant Management page, the status of the pairing request is shown.

    If a child tenant disconnects from the main tenant, a banner at the top of the page shows that a child tenant is disconnected. If this happens, re-pair and sync the content of the child tenant from the Tenant Management page.
