Hey @RobotUi

In UiPath Orchestrator, these connection parameters are used to establish a connection between UiPath Assistant and Orchestrator. Here’s a brief explanation of each:

  1. Service URL:
  • The Service URL is the address of your UiPath Orchestrator instance. It points UiPath Assistant to the Orchestrator server. This URL is where the Orchestrator API is hosted. It typically looks like https://platform.uipath.com or https://<your-orchestrator-server>.
  1. Client ID:
  • The Client ID is a unique identifier assigned to your UiPath Assistant instance. It is used for authentication and authorization purposes. The Client ID is associated with a specific machine and user.
  1. Machine Key:
  • The Machine Key is a unique identifier for a machine in Orchestrator. It is used to tie a machine to a specific Orchestrator instance. The Machine Key helps in ensuring secure communication between UiPath Assistant and Orchestrator.

Hope this helps,

Regards!

Service URL is used for Attended robot installations. With this connection you Sign in in UiPath Assistant.

With Client ID connection (client id credentials from a machine template) you are connecting usually unattended robot installations. With this connection you Connect in UiPath Assistant.

The Machine Key connection is deprecated. Overview - Deprecation timeline
