Issue Description

The UiPath Orchestrator is configured as Azure app. Although the Orchestrator and Identity Server are working fine, "deceptive website" error is thrown when the CNAME is used for the Orchestrator in the browser. Assistance is required for the correct configuration. (i.e. renaming the Orch and Identity Server URLs).

Resolution

In order to change the URL of the Orchestrator / Identity, which is hosted as an App Service in Azure, follow the steps below:

  1. Register a domain with a domain registrar or use a subdomain on an existing domain.
  2. Log in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com and navigate to the Orchestrator and Identity App Services.
  3. Go to "Custom domains" in each App Service, add a custom domain, and validate it. Create DNS records for both domains in your domain registrar's control panel.
  4. For each App Service, go to "TLS/SSL settings" and configure an SSL certificate. Bind the SSL certificate to the custom domain.
  5. In the Orchestrator App Service, go to "Configuration" under Settings. Update all the Application Settings that have the default URL with the new one
  6. After following the above steps, restart both App Services.
