Service authentication

This section specifies shared secrets used to provide additional security and authenticate the following clients with Management Console.

  • DAS (Desktop Automation Service)

  • DTS (Document Transformation Service)

  • Kapplets

  • TotalAgility

  • RFS (Robot File System)

  • RoboServer

  • Synchronizer

Actions

When you click a context menu for a client, the following actions are listed.

  • Show shared secret: Displays the shared secret for the client and the date of its generation.

  • Change shared secret: Generates a new shared secret.

The shared secret must be encrypted in the RoboServer settings. See RoboServer configuration. Also refer to the "RoboServer configuration" section in the Tungsten RPA Administrator's Guide.

Management Console automatically generates the shared secret when started for the first time. It is then stored in the Management Console database and remains unchanged until you explicitly generate a new one by clicking Change shared secret.

If the shared secret is changed in the Management Console, copy and paste the new secret into the client.
