Federating Security Center SaaS into Security Center

2026-07-29Last updated

To federate Security Center SaaS into a Security Center system, you must first generate connection credentials for a Federation user in Security Center SaaS.

Before you begin

Ensure the Secure communication option is enabled in your Security Center system. If this option is not enabled, you cannot stream live and playback video from the federated Security Center SaaS system.

What you should know

  • The Federation™ user controls what the Federation host can access on the federated system.
  • When you generate connection credentials for the Federation user in Security Center SaaS, the Federation user is automatically granted the required privileges, including the Federation privilege.
  • You can generate connection credentials for up to five Federation users.
  • This method of Federation does not use reverse tunneling.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to Security Center SaaS.
  2. In the Configuration task, go to Global settings → Integrations → Federation.
  3. Click Add.
  4. In New connection credentials, supply a username for the Federation user, and then click Save.
    The connection credentials for the Federation user are created.
  5. (Optional) To generate a new password, click Generate new password, adjust the length if needed, and then click Generate.
  6. (Optional) To delete the connection credentials for a Federation user, select the Federation user, click More (), and then click Delete.
