Parameters

arguments

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

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

asyncCallback

The delegate that is executed when the operation completes.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

state

An object that contains any additional user-defined data.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

progress

A provider for progress updates.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.
