Copying Certificates to the Trusted Certificates Store

When establishing the connection to an OPC server, you may be required to copy the DeviceXPlorer OPC Server and FrameWorX™ Server certificates to the OPC Foundation trusted certificates folder.

To copy certificates to the OPC Foundation trusted certificates folder:

  1. Get the Device Explorer certificate file from the OPC UA server properties saved in a folder in C:\ProgramData. In our example setting, it is C:\ProgramData\TAKEBISHI\DeviceXPlorer OPC Server 7\pkiserver\own\certs\DxpOpcUaServer.der.

    Device Explorer - Properties

  2. Get the FrameWorX Server certificate file from C:\ProgramData\ICONICS\11\pki\own\certs.

    FrameWorX - Certificates

  3. Copy and paste both files to C:\ProgramData\OPC Foundation\UA\pki\trusted\certs.

    OPC UA SDK - Certificates

    If you need to revert the changes, just delete the certificates from the C:\ProgramData\OPC Foundation\UA\pki\trusted\certs folder.
