Parameters

gdsEndpointDescriptor

Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server. The server must be a Global Directory Server (GDS).

applicationId

The identifier assigned to the Application record by the CertificateManager.

certificateGroupId

The NodeId of the Certificate Group which provides the context for the new request.
If OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.Null the CertificateManager shall choose the DefaultApplicationGroup.

certificateTypeId

The NodeId of the CertificateType for the new Certificate.
If OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.AddressSpace.UANodeId.Null the CertificateManager shall generate a Certificate based on the value of the certificateGroupId argument.

certificateRequest

A CertificateRequest used to prove possession of the Private Key.
It is a PKCS #10 encoded blob in DER format.
This blob shall include the subjectAltName extension that is in the Certificate.

Return Value

If you want to obtain new certificate for the current client application, it is recommended that you use the higher-level OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.IEasyUAApplication.BeginObtainNewCertificate method instead.

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10, Windows Server 2012; .NET Core: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
