ARCON credential retrieval use cases

Only the Bot auto-login use case is supported with Automation 360 v.35 release.

Retrieve auto-login credentials

Note: This use case applies to only On-Premises deployments.

Auto-login credentials are used to authenticate to an Automation 360 Bot Agent device and start an active Windows Server session. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) requires an active Windows session to function. Auto-login occurs prior to the automation running when automations are launched from a remote Bot Agent device.

You must have a secret for each Control Room user for whom the auto-login credentials will be retrieved from the external key vault, and the secret name in the ARCON key vault must match the Control Room username.

To configure retrieval of auto-login credentials from the external key vault, perform these steps:

  1. Log in to the Automation 360 Control Room as the Administrator.
  2. From the Control Room, navigate to Administration > Settings > External key vault > Device auto login.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Click Enabled to retrieve the auto-login credentials from that external key vault.
  5. Click Save changes.
