UiPath
Packages path “NuGet.Packages.Path”
Packages published by UiPath Studio to Orchestrator or manually uploaded from the Packages
page are stored by Orchestrator in a NuGet feed. Orchestrator has it’s own (built-in) NuGet server,
but can also use other NuGet feed

Packages managed by Orchestrator’s NuGet server can be stored on the local drive or on a network
share

When multiple nodes of Orchestrator are used, all should be able to access the same packages path;
or synchronize the folders if each Orchestrator node uses a different folder

When Deployment URL is non-empty in Settings -> Deployment, then it will be used instead of
NuGet.Packages.Path

CyberArk

Integration with CyberArk is implemented through the use of CyberArk AIM module on the same
server as Orchestrator

Orchestrator integration with CyberArk is for robots’ passwords only

The following keys need to be set in web.config: the value for Vault.Type should be "CyberArk" and
the other 3 keys starting with Vault.CyberArk need to be set with values obtained from CyberArk
