Identity Server Scripts

Publish to Identity Server

The following table describes all the parameters that you can use with the Publish-IdentityServer.ps1 script.

Parameter	Description
-action	Mandatory. Indicates the type of scenario you want to start. The following options are available: Deploy - specifies it is a clean installation. Update - specifies you are updating your Identity Server instance.
-azureAccountApplicationId	Mandatory. The Azure service principal ID. Please note that the used service principal needs to be assigned the Contributor role to the app service at the subscription scope.
-azureAccountPassword	Mandatory. The Azure token password for the service principal ID.
-azureSubscriptionId	Mandatory. The Azure subscription ID for the App Service that hosts Orchestrator.
-azureAccountTenantId	Mandatory. The Azure tenant ID.
-orchestratorUrl	Mandatory. The URL of the Orchestrator instance.
-identityServerUrl	Mandatory. The URL of the Identity Server. Important: The URL must contain the Identity Server address + the suffix /identity in lowercase. Example: https://[identity_server]/identity
-resourceCatalogUrl	Mandatory. The URL of the Resource Catalog.
-orchDetails	This parameter is a hash table that contains the following values: resourceGroupName - Mandatory. The name of the Azure Resource Group that contains the Orchestrator App Service. appServiceName - Mandatory. The Orchestrator Azure App Service name. targetSlot - Mandatory. The Target App Service Slot set by Azure.
-identityServerDetails	This parameter is a hash table that contains the following values: resourceGroupName - Mandatory. The name of the Azure Resource Group that contains the Identity Server App Service. appServiceName - Mandatory. The Identity Server Azure App Service name. targetSlot - Mandatory. The Target App Service Slot set by Azure.
-package	Mandatory. Indicate the full path or relative path of the UiPath.IdentityServer.Web.zip archive.
-cliPackage	Mandatory. Indicate the full path or relative path of the UiPath.IdentityServer.Migrator.Cli.zip archive.
-productionSlotName	Optional. It can be used only if the Identity Server App Service deployment slot is different from the default Production App Service Slot set by Azure.
-stopApplicationBeforePublish	Optional. If present, it stops the application before deployment and it starts it after the deployment is completed.
-unattended	Optional. If present, the deployment continues without any user confirmation.
-tmpDirectory	Optional. Enables the specification of a directory where needed files are downloaded and unzipped.
-noAzureAuthentication	Optional. Allows you to publish to the Azure App Service by relying on your own user identity, without having to create a service principal. If this parameter is used, the UseServicePrincipal parameter set (which includes items such as the Azure application ID, password, subscription ID, and tenant ID) are no longer necessary.

The Publish-IdentityServer.ps1 script is used for the initial deployment or update of Identity Server. The script assumes that the web app already has the DefaultConnection database connection string configured.

.\Publish-IdentityServer.ps1 `
    -action Deploy `
    -orchestratorUrl "<orchestrator_address>" `
    -identityServerUrl "https://<identity_server_url>/identity" ` // must be in lowercase
    -resourceCatalogUrl "<resource_catalog_address>" `
    -orchDetails @{ resourceGroupName = "<resourcegroup_name>"; appServiceName = "<appservice_name>";  targetSlot = "Production" } `
    -identityServerDetails @{ resourceGroupName = "<resourcegroup_name>"; appServiceName = "<appservice_name>"; targetSlot = "Production" } `
    -azureSubscriptionId "<subscription_id>" `
    -azureAccountTenantId "<azure_tenant_id>" `
    -azureAccountApplicationId "<azure_application_id>" `
    -azureAccountPassword "<azure_account_password>" `
    -package "UiPath.IdentityServer.Web.zip" `
    -cliPackage "UiPath.IdentityServer.Migrator.Cli.zip" `
    -stopApplicationBeforePublish `
    -unattended

Important: After running the above script, make sure you perform the extra steps listed below for a successful initial deployment.

After publishing Identity Server, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Azure Portal.
2. Select your Identity Server App Service.
3. In the Certificates menu, go to Bring your own certificates.
4. Upload a private key certificate .pfx file with a valid password.
   Note: This certificate is used to sign the access tokens and the ID tokens.

5. Under Configuration menu, add the following application settings exactly as written in the Application Settings column:

   Application Setting	Value	Description
   AppSettings__IdentityServerAddress	https://[identity_server]/identity	The public URL of the Identity Server. Important: The URL must contain the address of Identity Server + the suffix /identity in lowercase.
   AppSettings__SigningCredentialSettings__StoreLocation__Location	CurrentUser	This has to point to CurrentUser.
   AppSettings__SigningCredentialSettings__StoreLocation__Name	XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	The thumbprint of your certificate that you've uploaded earlier.
   AppSettings__SigningCredentialSettings__StoreLocation__NameType	Thumbprint	Enter Thumbprint as the type of the previous field.
   AppSettings__LoadBalancerSettings__RedisConnectionString	XXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXX,password=XXXXXX	The connection string needed to set up your Redis server, which contains the URL of the server, the password, and the port. You can also enable SSL encrypted connections between the Orchestrator nodes and the Redis service.
   AppSettings__LoadBalancerSettings__SlidingExpirationTimeInSeconds	Number of seconds	The sliding expiration time of an item inside the cache. This expiration time applies to both Redis Cache and InMemory Cache.
   AppSettings__RedisSettings__UseRedisStoreCache	true/false	Set its value to true to enable Redis caching of OAuth client data. This helps prevent performance issues when using Interactive Sign In to connect a large number of robots in a short amount of time. This cache uses the same Redis connection string specified in the AppSettings__LoadBalancerSettings. Note: This is not recommended if you are using the External Applications feature since this setting caches clients, and updates to External Applications will not be reflected.
   AppSettings__RedisSettings__UseRedisStoreClientCache	true/false	Set its value to true to enable Redis caching for first-party clients (UiPath applications) or third-party clients (external applications). If you have a large-scale deployment, it is recommended to enable this flag.
   App__Saml2ValidCertificateOnly	true/false	For Orchestrator deployments via an Azure web app, this parameter must be set to false. This is because SAML2 requires certificates to be added to its trust store, but Azure web apps do not allow this action. Setting the value to false means that the certificate check is bypassed.
   WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES	XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX	The thumbprint value of your certificate that you've uploaded earlier.
   WEBSITE_LOAD_USER_PROFILE	1	The user profile.
   -azureUSGovernmentLogin	Optional. This parameter is only used for US Government deployments.

6. Save the changes.

Find more details in the Microsoft Azure documentation.

Replacing the private key certificate

When you replace a private key certificate with a new one, make sure to follow these steps:

1. Replace the values of the AppSettings__SigningCredentialSettings__StoreLocation__Name and WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES parameters with the thumbprint of the new certificate.
2. Restart the Identity app service.
3. Restart the Orchestrator app service.

The MigrateTo-IdentityServer.ps1 script is used to migrate user data from Orchestrator to Identity Server and set the configurations for both. It sets the identity authority of Orchestrator to Identity Server, and it creates client configuration for Orchestrator in Identity Server.

The script assumes that Orchestrator and Identity Server are already published.

.\MigrateTo-IdentityServer.ps1 `
    -cliPackage "UiPath.IdentityServer.Migrator.Cli.zip" `
    -azureDetails @{azureSubscriptionId = "<subscription_id>"; azureAccountTenantId = "<azure_tenant_id>"; azureAccountApplicationId = "<azure_application_id>"; azureAccountPassword = "<azure_account_password>" } `
    -orchDetails @{ resourceGroupName = "<resourcegroup_name>"; appServiceName = "<appservice_name>";  targetSlot = "Production" } `
    -identityServerDetails @{ resourceGroupName = "<resourcegroup_name>"; appServiceName = "<appservice_name>"; targetSlot = "Production" } `
    -identityServerUrl "https://<identity_server_url>/identity" ` // must be in lowercase
