##Concept

##Setup

###Adding a server

Servers can be added by users via

https://<misp url>/servers/add

The Add Server Form has several input fields:

1. Base URL

The base-url to the external server you want to sync with. Example: https://foo.sig.mil.be

2. Instance Name

A name that will make it clear to your users what this instance is. For example: Organisation A's instance

3. Remote Sync Organisation Type

The organization having the external server you want to sync with. Example: BE

4. Local Organisation

5. Authkey

You can find the authentication key on your profile on the external server.

6. Push

Allow the upload of events and their attributes.

7. Pull

Allow the download of events and their attributes from the server.

8. Self Signed

Click this, if you would like to allow a connection despite the other instance using a self-signed certificate (not recommended). (server certificate file still needed)

9. Server certificate file

You can also upload a certificate file if the instance you are trying to connect to has its own signing authority. (*.pem)

10. Client certificate file

You can also upload a certificate file if the instance you are trying to connect to has its own signing authority. (*.pem)

###Test connection

Test connection can be used to test the connection to the remote server and will give a feedback about local and remote version of MISP.

###Rules

Rules are used to limit sharing to e.g. events with a given tag, or disabling sharing for events containing a certain Tag.
