Question

What are the types of SSL or Web Certificates required for communication between Robots and Orchestrator in UiPath?

Answer 1

Hey Farhan, HTTPS protocol is mandatory for all communication between Robots and Orchestrator on all the browsers on which the web application is accessed by users. So the following 3 types of SSL certificates can be used:

• A web certificate issued by a trusted Certification Authority, such as GoDaddy, VeriSign, etc. The web certificate has to be imported to Server Certificates in IIS. You need to know the name of the "Issued To" entity, which has to be provided when prompted by the Windows installer.
• You are a Certification Authority which can issue certificates trusted in the Windows domain.
• A self-signed certificate, which is not recommended for Production. The certificate is not trusted inside the domain. For that reason, you need to export its public key, and then import it on all Robot machines. 

The name of the certificate you provide when prompted by the Windows installer, or the one mentioned in the command line using -sslCertificate is the same one that appears in the Issued To column in Server Certificates in IIS.
