BeginObtainNewCertificate(IEasyUAApplication,UAEndpointDescriptor,UAObtainNewCertificateParameters,IProgress<String[]>) Method



OpcLabs.EasyOpcUA Assembly > OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.Extensions Namespace > IEasyUAApplicationExtension Class > BeginObtainNewCertificate Method : BeginObtainNewCertificate(IEasyUAApplication,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.
Begins an asynchronous operation that obtains a new application instance certificate from the certificate manager, and stores it for subsequent usage.

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.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.
Remarks

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(IEasyUAApplication,UAEndpointDescriptor) extension method and its overloads.

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