Enable ReversingLabs

ReversingLabs file reputation is configured at runtime from the Halo Portal or the Halo API. This is the supported path on the OVA and other self-hosted appliances, where the appliance owns cdrplatform-secrets and the Engine writes the settings directly. A change is appliance-wide and takes effect without a restart.

Configure from the Portal​

  1. Sign in to the Portal as an administrator.
  2. Open Settings and select the File reputation tab.
  3. Enter the ReversingLabs username and password, and optionally a timeout in seconds (1–120, default 5). Halo hard-codes the endpoint (the same for every appliance); the tab shows it read-only with a padlock icon.
  4. Select Test connection to verify the endpoint and credentials.
  5. Turn ReversingLabs on and Save. Enabling requires a passing test.

Configure from the Halo API​

The same operations are available on the Halo API (administrator; basic or bearer auth):

  • GET /api/v1/reversing-labs/settings — read the current settings. The password is never returned.
  • PUT /api/v1/reversing-labs/settings — save the settings. Enabling is gated on a passing connection test; leave the password blank to keep the stored one.
  • POST /api/v1/reversing-labs/test-connection — test a candidate endpoint and credentials without saving.
