    Verify that you have the required ServiceNow AI Platform and Security Incident Response roles assigned. The following roles are required:
    • The System Administrator (admin) installs the app and assigns the Security Incident Administrator (sn_si.admin) role.
    • The Security Incident Administrator (sn_si.admin) oversees the configuration, and creates, activates, and removes EDLs. This role also assigns the sn_si.analyst role.
    • The (admin) assigns the ServiceNow AI Platform® API account role (sn_sec_panfw.api_account_access), which is used exclusively for entering credentials required for authentication on Palo Alto Networks so the firewalls can retrieve EDLs from the ServiceNow AI Platform®.
    • (sn_si.analyst), or Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst, creates EDL entries and works with security incidents.
    Verify that you are using Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall version-OS 9.x, and 10.x. This integration only supports Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall OS 9.0 and later.
    Set up any EDL profiles, security policy rules, and certificate profiles in Palo Alto Networks as recommended in Palo Alto Networks documentation. Refer to Palo Alto Networks general documentation and requirements at the: Paloalto Networks Documentation website.
    Verify that you have downloaded and configured the DigiCert Root Authority Certificate. The integration requires this certificate to validate and authenticate the secure connection between the ServiceNow AI Platform server and the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall server. For more information on setting up the certificate, see "Configure a Certificate Profile" in the PAN-OS 10.0 Administrator's Guide. For the download, see Create a certificate profile for the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall and DigiCert Trusted Root Authority Certificates.
