IBM Security Verify Event Service protocol configuration options

IBM® Security Verify Event Service protocol is formerly known as IBM Cloud® Identity Event Service protocol.

To receive events from IBM Security Verify, configure a log source in IBM QRadar to use the IBM Security Verify Event Service protocol.

The IBM Security Verify protocol is an outbound/active protocol.

When you use the IBM Security Verify Event Service protocol, there are specific parameters that you must use.

Before you can add a log source in QRadar®, you must configure IBM Security Verify server to send events to QRadar. For more information, see Configuring IBM Security Verify server to send events to QRadar.

The following table describes the protocol-specific parameters for the IBM Security Verify Event Service protocol:
Table 1. IBM Security Verify Event Service protocol log source parameters
Parameter Value
Log Source Type IBM Security Verify
Protocol Configuration IBM Security Verify Event Service
Log Source Identifier

Type a unique name for the log source.

The Log Source Identifier can be any valid value and does not need to reference a specific server. It can also be the same value as the Log Source Name. If you have more than one configured IBM Security Verify Event Service log source, ensure that you give each one a unique name.

Authorization End Point https://<your tenant>.ice.ibmcloud.com
Client ID The Client ID that you recorded when you completed the steps to generate credentials for use with the REST API in IBM Security Verify. For more information, see Configuring IBM Security Verify server to send events to QRadar.
Client Secret The Client Secret that you recorded when you completed the steps to generate credentials for use with the REST API in IBM Security Verify. For more information, see Configuring IBM Security Verify server to send events to QRadar.
