Redirect URL in External Application in Orchestrator

Hi Team,

While registering an External Application in Automation Cloud, we need to provide a Redirect URL. Can we use the below details for that? I just want to cross-check if I am doing it correctly. and this mandatory to add this external Applications?
In Automation Cloud:

  1. Navigate to Admin → External Applications → Add Application.

  2. Application Type: Non-confidential.

  3. Resource: Orchestrator API.

  4. Redirect URL: http://127.0.0.1:8888/auth/

  5. Add required scopes: OR.Folders, OR.Settings, OR.Robots, OR.Machines, OR.Execution, OR.Assets, OR.Users, OR.Jobs, OR.Queues.

  6. Save and copy the Client Application ID.

Hello @Snehamayi_Senapati,

Your configuration is correct for testing. The redirect URL http://127.0.0.1:8888/auth/ is valid for local/Postman scenarios, but for production you should use your application’s actual callback URL.

For production:

  • Use your actual application URL (e.g., https://yourapp.com/callback)
  • UiPath requires an exact match during the OAuth flow.

Thanks,
Karthik

Thankyou so much for the response

@Snehamayi_Senapati

Any reason you are declaring it as non-confidential?

are you trying to use with any inhouse or local application?

cheers

Hi Anil ,

i am following this belowurl , MY reason is i m migrating from On Prem Orchestrator to Automation cloud from UiPath Orchestrator Version: 2023.4.1 and UiPath Studio Version: 2023.10.4. So can suggest do i need to add this external application while migration. Thankyou

@Snehamayi_Senapati

You can add a confidential app then no url is needed if its for any other purpose

for migration specifically then above works as it needs to runf rom the same on prem servers

cheers

Hi Anil..
Thankyou for the response..

So while Migrating from OnPrem to Automation cloud can i give the below information as
Type: Confidential
Resoures: Orchestrator API
User Scopes: OR.Folders , OR.Settings , OR.Robots , OR.Machines , OR.Execution , OR.Assets , OR.Users , OR.Jobs , and OR.Queues .
Redirect URL: NOT REQUIRED(or DO I NEED TO GIVE).

Please check the details is correct so i can proceed with the above filled information. Then i will save which will generate an Application ID.

Thanks

@Snehamayi_Senapati

for your use case it should be non-confidential and redirect URL as said in screenshot

as your on prem resource is connected via your machine the above is needed

cheers

i have different VM for On Prem Orchestrator , while i migrate when i use Migration Tool i can use any VM for migration not only the same where the On Prem resides correct . I can use the above redirect url.

Thankyou for the response

Hello @Snehamayi_Senapati,

Yes you can as long as your orchestrator server, VM you are using under the same network.

Thanks,
Karthik

@Snehamayi_Senapati

Yes that should be working..I believe all VMs are under same VPN

cheers
