Connecting to Your Workshop Environment¶

Here is our plan for this lesson:

Connect to your VM and sign in to Automation Cloud.
Confirm you're on the workshop tenant in Studio Web.

Goal¶

By the end of this lesson you'll have a VM open in your browser and Studio Web open on the workshop tenant. You'll start Codex in the next lesson, from inside your working folder.

What's already on the VM¶

The VM already has Codex CLI, the UiPath CLI, the UiPath skills, and both logins in place. Apart from creating your working folder in the next lesson, you run nothing else in the shell today. Codex runs every command, including the login check.

Steps¶

1. Connect to your VM¶

On your workshop page, find the Sandbox row. We recommend "Connect in browser": it opens your VM through Azure Bastion, right in a browser tab. Use the username and password shown under Sandbox sign-in to log into the VM.

The Bastion login asks for the same username and password:

Azure Bastion login form with protocol RDP, port 3389, username, password and keyboard language

You should see a notification asking you whether you want to allow clipboard access. Please accept.

You should see the VM load in that browser tab:

2. Open the workshop tenant¶

Perform the rest of the steps in this guide inside the VM.

Open the Chrome browser and open a tab to:

https://cloud.uipath.com/tpenlabs/AgenticAdvancedWorkshop/

Can't paste into the VM?

If you can't paste into the VM using CTRL+V, visit chrome://settings/content/clipboard in the browser and make sure Bastion isn't blocked from using the Clipboard.

Choose "Continue with Microsoft" to log in.

4. Confirm the tenant in Studio Web¶
