Encrypting AppSettings.Production.json

Overview

Identity Server and Webhooks AppSettings.Production.json files contain sensitive information one may want to secure. It is possible to encrypt/decrypt these files using the UiPath.IdentityServerConfigProtector.exe tool.
Note: Once encrypted, the data cannot be changed by directly editing the AppSettings.Production.json file. It must be decrypted and then re-encrypted.

UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe

UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe is located in Orchestrator's installation directory. Its full path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Tools\ConfigProtector.

Identity Server

Encryption
To encrypt AppSettings.Production.json, perform the following steps AFTER installing Orchestrator:
  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command:
    UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--pe 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Identity\appsettings.Production.json"UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--pe 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Identity\appsettings.Production.json"
Decryption
  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command:
    UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--de 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Identity\appsettings.Production.json"UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--de 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Identity\appsettings.Production.json"

Webhooks

Prior to encrypting Webhook’s appsettings.Production.json, you need to add the signing certificate settings. You can copy the SigningCredentialSettings section from the Identity Server appsettings.Production.json file if you want to use the same certificate. 
"AppSettings": {
    "SigningCredentialSettings": {
        "StoreLocation": {
            "Name": "66B6B5A95BD055C8A264E643F9F8B26C7BEAA841",
            "Location": "LocalMachine",
            "NameType": "Thumbprint"
        }
    }
}"AppSettings": {
    "SigningCredentialSettings": {
        "StoreLocation": {
            "Name": "66B6B5A95BD055C8A264E643F9F8B26C7BEAA841",
            "Location": "LocalMachine",
            "NameType": "Thumbprint"
        }
    }
}
  • Name represents the Thumbprint of your certificate.
  • We do not recommend using other values for Location and NameType.
Encryption
  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command:
    UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--pe 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Webhooks\appsettings.Production.json"UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--pe 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Webhooks\appsettings.Production.json"
Decryption
  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command:
    UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--de 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Webhooks\appsettings.Production.json"UiPath.ConfigProtector.exe 
--de 
-f "C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator\Webhooks\appsettings.Production.json"

Resource Catalog Service

Prior to encrypting the Resource Catalog Service appsettings.Production.json, you need to add the signing certificate settings. You can copy the SigningCredentialSettings section from the Identity Server appsettings.Production.json file if you want to use the same certificate. 
"AppSettings": {
    "SigningCredentialSettings": {
        "StoreLocation": {
            "Name": "66B6B5A95BD055C8A264E643F9F8B26C7BEAA841",
            "Location": "LocalMachine",
            "NameType": "Thumbprint"
        }
    }
}"AppSettings": {
    "SigningCredentialSettings": {
        "StoreLocation": {
            "Name": "66B6B5A95BD055C8A264E643F9F8B26C7BEAA841",
            "Location": "LocalMachine",
            "NameType": "Thumbprint"
        }
    }
}
  • Name represents the Thumbprint of your certificate.
