When Secured Connectivity is enabled between the OPCUA server and collector, the Client Certificate has to be added to the OPCUA Server's trusted list of certificates.

Adding a Client Certificate to the OPCUA Server's Trusted List

  1. Attempt to start the OPCUA Collector in secured mode. The OPCUA Collector will not start.
  2. Locate the OPCUA local or remote server installation location on the machine where the OPCUA server is running. Typically, this can be found under "\ProgramFiles\OPCUA Server Name\".
  3. Locate the folder named "rejected" under the OPCUA server installation path. If you are unable to locate it, check the OPCUA Server manual for assistance.
  4. The client certificate is in the "rejected" folder. Copy and paste this certificate into the OPCUA Server's trusted list of certificates. The OPCUA Server manual indicates the folder where the trusted certificates are located.
  5. Restart the OPCUA Collector.
