OPC UA client certificates
The "OPC UA client certificates" area contains a list of all existing user certificates. To
display details of a certificate, select the required certificate in the list. The selected
certificate field is highlighted in color.
Client certificates displayed in red have not yet been classified as trustworthy by the OPC
UA server. A client using such a certificate cannot yet establish a valid connection to the
server. Client certificates displayed in black have already been accepted and are classified
as trustworthy by the OPC UA server.
With a certificate shown in red, click the "Accept" button to classify the certificate as
trustworthy. The cover of the certificate then changes to black. Click the "Delete" button to
delete an existing selected certificate. Click the "Update" button to update the list.
Import OPC UA server certificate
In the "Import OPC UA server certificate" area you can transfer server certificate files (*.der)
and server certificate key files for the OPC UA server to the reader. Remember that you first
need to import the data into the reader before you can activate it.
Using the server certificates, you can integrate the reader in your specific security
infrastructure. Certificates are used to check the identity of a person or a device, to
authenticate a service or to encrypt files. You can create your own certificates or use official
certificates created by a certification authority.
Contact your administrative IT department for further information on the topic of certificates.
Note
Recommendations for secure use of OPC UA
It is recommended that you use the highest security levels (Basic 256 / SHA 256) and
disable anonymous access.
