I understand that the Orchestrator Cloud Platform needs no VPN to connect to the Robots as long as I can reach the platform.uipath.com I’ll be able to connect my robot to the orchestrator, is that right?
Also, if I have an enterprise VM that is on but no user is logged in I configured the Orchestrator and UiPath Robot → the Orch will be able to log-in and execute the process?
I’m wondering how this CLoud Platform Connects to on-premise CPD’s and VM’s and logs into them without a VPN.
Yes, so long as the Robot’s host machine can establish a connecting over port 443 using the HTTPS protocol. However if you are configuring High-Density Robots i.e. multiple concurrent sessions, then RDP/3389 would also be needed from Orchestrator to the Robot as you’d no longer be starting a session using the console.
The Robot Service which is on your private network is establishing the connection to the remote Orchestrator, generally speaking if the inbound traffic is a response to an outbound request any firewall will allow the traffic to flow back to the source.
