Current Behavior

Hello,

I would like to know if the OPC Foundation's OPC UA Server supports the use of external certificates instead of the server's own generated certificate. Specifically, I am interested in configuring the server to use a certificate and private key issued by an external Certificate Authority (CA).

• Is it possible to configure the server to use an external certificate?
• If so, what are the steps or documentation references available for this configuration?

@Mahersrasra Yes you just have to put the certificates into the configured certificate store and they are picked up automatically by the stack.

Alternatively for a server you can use the configuration nodes to update the generated self signed certificate with a new CA signed one (OPC UA Spec Part 12)
