FileOrbis Response Integration via API

Purpose

This guide explains how to configure the FileOrbis Response integration in Logsign USO, so that Incidents and Alarms can automatically, or an analyst can manually, enable, disable, or delete a FileOrbis user account directly from a Logsign Incident. This is an identity-containment integration, configured under Settings > Integrations > Responses > +Device: its methods act on user account state, not on files or network traffic.

Prerequisites

  • A FileOrbis deployment with its management API reachable from the Logsign server.
  • A client key/secret pair with permission to manage user accounts.
  • Use least privilege. Scope the API client to user-management only if your FileOrbis deployment supports scoped API clients.

Step 1: Obtain FileOrbis API Credentials

  1. Log in to your FileOrbis management console with an administrator account.
  2. Create (or designate) an API client for Logsign to use, and note its Client Key and Client Secret.
  3. Note the FileOrbis instance's hostname, and whether it is reachable over http or https.

Step 2: Configure the Integration in Logsign USO

In Logsign USO, go to Settings > Integrations > Responses, search for FileOrbis, click Configure then +Device, and fill in:

FieldRequiredDescription
Device NameYesFree-text label identifying this FileOrbis device in Logsign.
ProtocolYeshttp or https.
HostYesHostname of your FileOrbis instance.
Client KeyYesThe API client key from Step 1. Stored encrypted at rest.
Client SecretYesThe API client secret from Step 1. Stored encrypted at rest.
Insecure Skip VerifyYesDisables TLS certificate validation on Logsign's outbound calls when enabled. Defaults to on; leave off unless you have a specific reason to keep it enabled.

Click Create to save the device.

Available Methods

  • enable-user (Recovery) — enables a FileOrbis user account. Arg: user_id (required).
  • disable-user (Containment) — disables a user account, blocking their access. Arg: user_id (required).
  • delete-user (Containment) — deletes a user account. Arg: user_id (required). This is not reversible from Logsign; use disable-user instead if you may need to restore access later.

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeWhat to check
401 UnauthorizedWrong Client Key/Client Secret.Re-enter both fields exactly as issued in your FileOrbis management console.
403 ForbiddenThe API client does not have permission to manage user accounts.Confirm the API client's assigned permissions in FileOrbis include user management.
Method fails to find the userWrong user_id.Confirm the user_id matches an existing FileOrbis account.

Notes and Limits

  • delete-user is irreversible. Prefer disable-user for containment scenarios where you may need to restore the account later.
  • The Recovery/Containment labels above group methods by what they practically do; the underlying integration definition tags all three methods the same way internally, so do not rely on that internal tag if you inspect the integration definition directly.
