Resolution

For v2020.4.x or higher

Check with the local internal IT team and ensure the certificate is valid according to the requirement mentioned in the guide Using a Certificate for the HTTPS Protocol. If not, follow the below steps to change the certificate to a valid one - follow the steps below:

    • Import the certificate under the Personal folder using the mmc, certificates console;
    • Ensure that the certificate is installed in the trusted root authorities folder if you are using a self-signed certificate as well and as per the prerequisites;
    • Update the certificate thumbprint in the C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Identity\appsettings.Production.json.

For v2019.x.x or lower

Create a self-signed certificate in the Orchestrator environment following the steps shared in this link. After certificate creation, follow the below steps to bind the newly created certificate to the website.

  1. IIS → Orchestrator website → Bindings → Select https bindings → Check SSL certificate → Select the appropriate certificate → Restart the website

  1. Restart the website in Orchestrator.

Note: This is a temporary solution and needs the self-signed certificate to be installed on the Robot machine as well to establish communication between Robot and Orchestrator.

A permanent solution would be to revalidate the domain certificate by the IT team and use the same for Orchestrator.
