Hii,

I am new to Java and OPC, i have some problem while connecting the SampleConsoleServer to SampleConsoleClient.
As i use the default URL address of the server =opc.tcp://localhost:52520/OPCUA/SampleConsoleServer.

After running my console i came up with this error which is below,

Connecting to opc.tcp://localhost:52520/OPCUA/SampleConsoleServer
Using SecurityPolicy http://opcfoundation.org/UA/Se…..ic128Rsa15

*** NOT connected to: opc.tcp://localhost:52520/OPCUA/SampleConsoleServer

I am looking for a help to proceed my work from here,

Best Regards

Hi,

I am trying to work with opc ua as well and am unable to make the connection between the sampleclient and server. I have gone through this thread and see myself in a similar situation. I tried the step to move the certficates from PKI/CA/rejected to PKI/CA/certs but I see no certificates present in PKI/CA/rejected. the error message is as follows.

kindly help me in this regard as I am only beginning to learn the server client connection.

Bad_ConnectionRejected means that the SampleConsoleServer is not available. Make sure that it is running, when you connect.  

Hi Juoni,

Thank you for the effective response. However I now have a similar issue with the discovery server. the warning/error is as follows,

I looked up a similar issue in the forum where the solution was suggested by installing an LDS. The link is : https://opcfoundation.org/developer-tools/developer-kits-unified-architecture/local-discovery-server-lds/
I performed the installation but could not find the folders (from the installed LDS) to update the certificates from ‘rejected’ to the trusted ‘certs’. Kindly advice on this issue.

As Always, thank you for the quick response.

Regards,
Nikith

The LDS is an optional component, but may help the client applications to find your server.

For the LDS certificate store, please look at ‘C:\ProgramData\OPC Foundation\UA\Discovery\pki\’ (Note that C:\ProgramData is a hidden directory)  

yes you were right 🙂 Also with the fact that an LDS is optional. Everything was up and running last night but when i try to run the sampleconsoleserver today I have issues with the certificates again. Not sure if I have to tackle this each time i run the server or just once. the error is as follows. your inputs are valuable to me and helps immensely with my project. thanks
