Deployment Tab

Enables you to configure and secure feeds for packages and libraries. You can manage the feeds for all tenants from a centralized location using Automation Ops. For more information, see feeds management in the Automation Ops guide.

Settings here only affect tenant feeds; folder feeds and personal workspace feeds are always internal and available in the context of the respective folder or personal workspace alone.

Packages

Enables you to set an internal or an external feed in which automation packages can be maintained. By default, an internal feed is used. The feeds can be secured either by defining basic authentication credentials or by using an API key.

Field	Description
Internal	Must be selected in order to use an internal feed. The feed can be secured either with the Secure Deployment option or by using an API key.
External	Must be selected in order to use an external feed. The feed can be secured either by using an API key or basic authentication credentials.
Deployment URL	Only available if External is selected. The address where the NuGet feed is located.
Secure Deployment	Ensures that your automation packages are downloaded through a secure NuGet feed.
API Key	The key used to secure your feed against write operations such as delete or upload.
Authentication	Only available if External is selected. Specify the credentials for your basic-authenticated feed. Please keep in mind that both the user name and the password used with the API Key option should be used in this case as well.

Libraries

Enables you to configure the feed to be used when working with library packages. Libraries can be published from Studio or manually uploaded by the user in Orchestrator and are stored within the chosen feed.

Field	Description
Only host feed (tenant setting)	Libraries are stored in the host feed and are available to all tenants which use it. The Libraries page is the same for one Orchestrator instance, meaning libraries are not isolated at the tenant level: each tenant has access to the other tenants' activity. You cannot upload libraries from Orchestrator if this option is selected. This option gives robot access to the host feed only.
Only tenant feed (tenant setting)	Libraries are isolated at the tenant level, meaning data is separated across tenants. You may set an internal or an external feed in which libraries are maintained. By default, an internal feed is used. This option gives robot access to the tenant feed only.
Both host and tenant feeds (tenant setting)	Libraries are isolated at the tenant level, meaning data is separated across tenants. You may set an internal or an external feed in which libraries are maintained. By default, an internal feed is used. This option gives robot access to both the host and tenant feeds.
Internal	Not applicable if Only host feed is selected. Must be selected in order to use an internal feed. The feed can be secured either with the Secure Deployment option or by using an API key.
External	Not applicable if Only host feed is selected. Must be selected in order to use an external feed. The feed can be secured using an API key.
Secure Deployment	Not applicable if Only host feed is selected. Ensures that your automation packages are downloaded through a secure NuGet feed.
Deployment URL	Not applicable if Only host feed is selected and only available if External is selected. The address where the NuGet feed is located.
API Key	Not applicable if Only host feed is selected. The key used to secure your feed against write operations such as delete or upload. The user can use it to publish packages. This key is generated by the external provider and has the following format [username]:[password]. For example, admin:2652ACsQhy.

Prerequisites for Using an External Feed Through a Proxy

If you want to use an external feed while you have a proxy server configured on Windows, the following are required beforehand:

• Set the Load User Profile option for the Orchestrator application pool (Internet Information Services > Application Pools) to True.
  
  

  

  
  
• Add the proxy settings you used to the NuGet.config file associated with the application pool identity account (C:\Users\[YourAppPoolIdentityAccountName]\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\NuGet.Config):

  <config>
  <add key="http_proxy" value="http://ipaddress:port" />
  </config>

  Note: The following settings are loaded only when the Robot Service connects to the server. Whenever they are modified you need to restart the UiRobotSvc service for the changes to take effect.
