CyberArk

CyberArk is a third-party information security software supported by Kofax RPA. It functions as an external password manager. Use CyberArk as an alternative to the Kofax RPA built-in password manager.

Use CyberArk

The following are general steps for using CybeArk.

  1. In the selected Management Console, navigate to Repository > CyberArk and create a password entry on the Passwords tab.
  2. In Design Studio, navigate to Settings > Design Studio Settings, and on the Management Consoles tab, specify the Management Console to store passwords and select Use as Primary.

  3. Once a robot is ready for deployment, it needs to be uploaded to the Management Console. When the robot is uploaded, in the Management Console, on the Password access tab, create a new password access entry for the uploaded robot using an access token for a robot (can be obtained by clicking Get resource access token in the robot context menu) or a Design Studio instance (can be copied from the About window in the Design Studio). Also, you the password entry created in Step 1.

Important Every time you upload your robot or any of its components, such as types, snippets, and so on, to Management Console, a new password access entry must be created for the robot. Previous entries are kept in the password access list and you can delete them manually.
