"QRadar token test failed" when configuring the IBM Security QRadar SOAR plug-in for QRadar

Troubleshooting


Problem

When configuring the IBM Security QRadar SOAR plug-in installed on QRadar, you might come across a "QRadar token test failed" error.

Symptom

When configuring the plug-in, you might come across the error QRadar token test failed. 401 Client Error: 401 for url: https://<QRADAR.DOMAIN.COM>/api/siem/offense_closing_reasons
plugin error

Cause

When the Authorized Service Token used by the plug-in is created with the wrong permissions this error is seen.

Diagnosing The Problem

In the QRadar console got to Admin -  Authorized Services and check the User Role and Security Profile configured for the token the plug-in is configured to use.
If Admin is not set for both User Role and Security Profile, then this error occurs. You need to create a token with the correct permissions.

Resolving The Problem

Create a new token with Admin permissions for both User Role and Security Profile and use this token in the plug-in.
If you use IBM QRadar on Cloud (QRoC), you cannot create a token with the full level of access the plug-in needs. You must create a support case by using the QRoC product requesting that a new token is created with full access. Once the new token is provided use it in the plug-in.
