Autofocus MineMeld - how to access output node that requires authorisation

[Nikolay-Matveev]

I need to create O365 IP/URL EDLs but when I try to access the output nodes I get "Unauthorised" message unless I sign into AutoFocus in the browser. Needless to say I cannot do the same on a firewall. How do I allow anonymous connections to a feed in Autofocus MineMeld or use authentication when configuring EDL on a firewall?

You have to create a "feeduser" and attach it as a TAG to the output node

In the PANOS device:

• If running PANOS 8.0, enable client authentication and populate user and password fields.
• If running PANOS 7.1 use the basic auth URL syntax (https://<user>:<password>@domain.com/url)

Hi, I'm new working on Minemeld. I have an issue, I want to enable authentication for an output node, but above the
FEEDS USERS manager i had the following message: Warning! authentication for output feeds is disabled
How to enable it?

Thank you

@jonnynux : are you using MineMeld hosted in AutoFocus? AFAIK MM in AutoFocus has Authentication for Output feeds enabled by default.

I'm trying to do this, but I must be missing something.  I have created a feed user and I have added a tag to the user.  I've associated that tab with my feed and that looks good so far.  My questions pertains to the modification of the URL.

In the PANOS device use the basic auth URL syntax (https://<user>:<password>@domain.com/url)

My firewall is running 7.1, and I cannot figure out the right syntax to use here.  https://user:password@example.com/rest-of-url-copied-from-autofocus generates an unauthorized errror.  I can't test the URL now with a browser because the browser believes I am connecting to a site in example.com.  

Could you show an actual URL that I could mimick in my configuration?  That would be a huge help.

@msemaniuk : I just tested the syntax in a 7.1 PANOS NGFW and it works in my case.

Are you using MineMeld in AutoFocus?

[msemaniuk]

Yes, it's in autofocus.  I believe I see my syntax problem.  I will give it a try in the morning!

I have fixed my formatting issue, but I'm not sure that it is resolving things.  I can test the URL with an 8.1 firewall.  My customer however, cannot get this to work with a 7.1 firewall.  I am going to rebuild my PA-200 as 7.1 so that I can try it personally.  

This is my format I am using.

I've also checked it in a browser and I receive an unauthorized notification.

Turns out my customer was testing in a browser, and not with the firewall.  He's good to go with the correct formatting of the URL.  Thanks for the help!
