What You'll Need
- Super Admin or Admin access to Sophos Central
- An active Sophos Central subscription
- ~5 minutes to complete setup
- Your Clariti account with adapter management permissions
Get Your Credentials
Log in to Sophos Central at central.sophos.com. Navigate to Global Settings > API Credentials Management and click Add Credential.
Give the credential a name such as "Clariti Integration" and select the Service Principal ReadOnly role for least-privilege access. After creation, the console displays a Client ID and Client Secret. Copy both values immediately — the secret is only shown once.
You also need your Tenant ID, which can be found via the Sophos whoami API endpoint after authenticating, or from the Sophos Partner/Central dashboard URL.
Enter Credentials in Clariti
| Value from vendor console | Paste into Clariti field |
|---|---|
Tenant ID | Tenant / Directory ID |
Client ID | Client ID |
Client Secret | Client Secret |
Verify Connection
Click Test Connection in Clariti. A successful connection returns a green checkmark. The first data sync typically completes within a few minutes.
Troubleshooting
- 401 Unauthorized — Verify the Client ID and Client Secret are correct. Regenerate the credential in Sophos Central if needed.
- 403 Forbidden — Ensure the API credential has at least the Service Principal ReadOnly role assigned.
- Timeout — Sophos Central API may throttle during peak usage. Clariti retries automatically.
