Copying Certificates to the Trusted Certificates Store

When establishing the connection to an OPC Server, you may be required to copy the Takebishi Device Explorer 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.
