Parameters

arguments

Contains arguments for obtaining a new application certificate from the OPC UA Global Discovery Server (GDS).

asyncCallback

The delegate that is executed when the operation completes.

state

An object that contains any additional user-defined data.

progress

A provider for progress updates.

Return Value

The operation is asynchronous, because it involves multiple steps, and waiting for a finalization of the request by the GDS (see the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Gds.IEasyUACertificateManagement.FinishRequest method). End of the operation is handled by the EndObtainNewCertificate method. The operation can be cancelled using the CancelObtainNewCertificate method.

For a synchronous alternative, see the ObtainNewCertificate(IEasyUAClientServerApplication,UAEndpointDescriptor) extension method and its overloads.

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

The operation first updates the application's registration in the GDS, before making a request to the certificate manager.
