OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.Extensions Namespace > IEasyUAClientApplicationExtension Class > ObtainNewCertificate Method : ObtainNewCertificate(IEasyUAClientApplication,UAEndpointDescriptor,UAObtainNewCertificateParameters,IProgress<String>) Method
The OPC UA client application object that will perform the operation.
The GDS endpoint acting as OPC UA certificate manager (CM).
The parameters describing how the certificate should be obtained.
A provider for progress updates.

Public Overloads Shared Function ObtainNewCertificate( _
   ByVal application As IEasyUAClientApplication, _

'Usage
 
Dim application As IEasyUAClientApplication
Dim gdsEndpointDescriptor As UAEndpointDescriptor
Dim parameters As UAObtainNewCertificateParameters
Dim progress As IProgress(Of String)
Dim value As PkiCertificate
 
value = IEasyUAClientApplicationExtension.ObtainNewCertificate(application, gdsEndpointDescriptor, parameters, progress)

Parameters

application
The OPC UA client application object that will perform the operation.
gdsEndpointDescriptor
The GDS endpoint acting as OPC UA certificate manager (CM).
parameters
The parameters describing how the certificate should be obtained.
progress
A provider for progress updates.

Return Value

Returns the certificate obtained from the certificate manager.
Remarks

The operation is synchronous. It can take considerable time to execute, because it involves multiple steps, and waiting for a finalization of the request by the GDS (see the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Gds.IEasyUACertificateManagementClient.FinishRequest method).

For an alternative based on asynchronous programming model (APM, System.IAsyncResult) pattern, see the BeginObtainNewCertificate method and related extension methods.

For a task-based asynchronous programming pattern alternative, see the ObtainNewCertificateAsync(IEasyUAClientApplication,UAEndpointDescriptor) extension method and its overloads.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 7 with SP1, Windows Server 2012; .NET Core: Linux, Microsoft Windows
