Certificate Considerations

Certificate requirements for Orchestrator, including SSL certificates and token-signing certificates for Identity Server.

Certificate Types​

Orchestrator requires two types of certificates:

  • An Orchestrator SSL certificate for enabling the encrypted communication between Robots and Orchestrator. An SSL certificate approved by a Certificate Authority is recommended, but a self-signed certificate can also be used.
  • An Identity Server token-signing certificate for user authentication, which holds the private key. In order to change these, you need to configure Identity Server.

Changing Certificates​

Through the Platform Configuration Tool​

In the context of certificates, the Platform Configuration Tool can be used:

  • To check that all certificate requirements are met by Orchestrator after an upgrade.
  • To update existing certificates using the -UpdateUiPathCertificate command.

By Creating New Certificates​

You can either request a new Orchestrator SSL certificate from a Certificate Authority or create a self-signed certificate on your own.

However, the latter option is not recommended.
