Certificate Store

The OPC UA endpoint saves its own certificate and the certificates of its communication partners in a certificate store. The following table provides an overview of the directories in the filesystem that are used for the certificate store.

  Trusted Untrusted
Certificate CertificateTrustListLocation CertificateRevocationListLocation CertificateRejectListLocation
Issuer Certificate IssuerCertificatesLocation IssuerRevocationListLocation

The directories specified in the table are defined in the OPC UA servers’s configuration file.

  • CertificateTrustListLocation: This directory contains the trusted CA root certificates and the trusted application certificates of the communication partners.

  • CertificateRejectListLocation: This directory contains the rejected application certificates of the communication partners.
