Onboard a GitHub Enterprise App to SSPM Using Login Credentials

1. Collect Information for Connecting to Your GitHub Enterprise Instance.

   To access your GitHub Enterprise instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.

   Item	Description
   Username	The username of a GitHub administrator. (Required Permissions) The administrator must be assigned to the Enterprise Owner role.
   Password	The password for the GitHub administrator.
   MFA Secret Key	A key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication.
   Organization name	The name of the GitHub Enterprises organization that SSPM will scan for misconfigured settings.

   As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your GitHub Enterprise instance from SSPM.

   1. Identify the GitHub administrator account that SSPM will use to access your GitHub Enterprise instance.

      (Required Permissions) The account must be assigned to the Enterprise Owner role. SSPM needs this level of access to monitor your GitHub Enterprise organization.
   2. Generate and copy an MFA secret key.

      The GitHub Enterprise account must be configured for MFA that requires a time-based one-time passcode (TOTP). TOTPs are generated from authenticator apps such as Microsoft Authenticator by using an MFA secret key. The key is a shared secret between GitHub Enterprise and the authenticator app for generating matching passcodes for verification. Like an authenticator app, SSPM will use the MFA secret key for passcode generation.

      1. Decide which authenticator app you will use and download it to your cellphone. You can use any authenticator app that supports TOTP generation.
      2. Log in to the GitHub administrator account.
      3. Navigate to your profile settings. To navigate to your profile settings, locate your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select <profile-icon> Settings.
      4. From the left navigation pane, select Password and authentication.
      5. Enable two-factor authentication.
      6. On the Two-factor authentication setup page, select the option to Set up using an app.
      7. Follow the onscreen instructions for setting up the authenticator app, but, when the onscreen instructions display a QR code that contains the MFA secret key, don't scan the QR code with your authenticator app. Instead, display the setup key for manual configuration. The setup key is your MFA secret key.

      8. Copy the MFA secret key and paste it into a text file.
         Do not continue to the next step unless you have copied the MFA secret key. You will provide this key to SSPM during the onboarding process.
      9. Continue configuring your authenticator app by scanning the QR code or by manually entering the MFA key. Complete any remaining configuration steps by following the onscreen instructions.
   3. Identify the GitHub Enterprise organization to scan.

      Using GitHub Enterprise, you can manage a single organization or multiple organizations. During onboarding, SSPM prompts you for the name of the organization to scan. If you want to scan multiple organizations, you can onboard each one separately. To view the organizations in your GitHub Enterprise, navigate to your organizations page. To navigate to your organizations page in GitHub Enterprise, locate your profile icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select <profile-icon> Your organizations.
2. Connect SSPM to Your GitHub Enterprise Instance.

   By adding a GitHub Enterprise app in SSPM, you enable SSPM to connect to your GitHub Enterprise instance.

   1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
   2. Select ConfigurationSaaS SecurityPosture SecurityApplicationsAdd Application and click the GitHub Enterprise tile.
   3. On the Posture Security tab, Add New instance.
   4. Log in with Credentials.
