The Properties and Methods of the RoleType contain sensitive security related information and shall only be browseable, readable, writeable and callable by authorized administrators through an encrypted channel.
The configuration of the Roles is done through Method calls. The only exceptions are the ApplicationsExclude and EndpointsExclude Properties. The two Properties are configured with the Write Service. All other Properties are configured with the corresponding Method calls. The CurrentWrite bit of the AccessLevel Attribute for the Properties Identities, Applications and Endpoints shall be FALSE.
If the configuration of a Role is changed, the Role assignment to active Session shall be re-evaluated and applied.
The Identities Property specifies the currently configured rules for mapping a UserIdentityToken to the Role. If this Property is an empty array and CustomConfiguration is not TRUE, then the Role cannot be granted to any Session.
The Role shall only be granted to the Session if all of the following conditions are true:
- The UserIdentityToken complies with Identities.
- The Applications Property is not configured or the Client Certificate complies with the Applications settings.
- The Endpoints Property is not configured or the Endpoint used complies with the Endpoints settings.
The ApplicationsExclude Property defines the Applications Property as an include list or exclude list. If the ApplicationsExclude Property is not provided or has a value of FALSE then only ApplicationInstance Certificates included in the Applications Property shall be included in this Role. All other ApplicationInstance Certificates shall not be included in this Role. If this Property has a value of TRUE then all ApplicationInstance Certificates included in the Applications Property shall be excluded from this Role. All other ApplicationInstance Certificates shall be included in this Role. If the Applications Property is provided with an empty array and all ApplicationInstance Certificates should be included, the ApplicationsExclude Property shall be present and the value must be TRUE.
The Applications Property specifies the ApplicationInstance Certificates of Clients which shall be included or excluded from this Role. Each element in the array is an ApplicationUri from a Client Certificate which is trusted by the Server. If Applications are configured for include or exclude, the Role shall only be granted if the Session uses a signed or signed and encrypted communication channel.
The EndpointsExclude Property defines the Endpoints Property as an include list or exclude list. If this Property is not provided or has a value of FALSE then only Endpoints included in the Endpoints Property shall be included in this Role. All other Endpoints shall not be included in this Role. If this Property has a value of TRUE then all Endpoints included in the Endpoints Property shall be excluded from this Role. All other Endpoints shall be included in this Role. If the Endpoints Property is provided with an empty array and all endpoints should be included, the EndpointsExclude Property shall be present and the value must be TRUE.
The Endpoints Property specifies the Endpoints which shall be included or excluded from this Role. Each element in the array is an EndpointType that contains an Endpoint description. The EndpointUrl and the other Endpoint settings are compared with the configured Endpoint that is used by the SecureChannel for the Session. The EndpointType DataType is defined in 4.4.2. Fields that have default values as defined in the EndpointType DataType are ignored during the comparison.
The CustomConfiguration Property indicates that the configuration of the Role and the assignment of the Role to Sessions is vendor specific. Roles are required to support the RolePermissions Attribute. If a Server want to support RolePermissions but is not able to support the standard Role functionality, it can indicate this with the CustomConfiguration Property. If CustomConfiguration is TRUE, the Server may hide the configuration options completely or the Server may provide additional vendor specific configuration options.
The AddIdentity Method adds a rule used to map a UserIdentityToken to the Role. If the Server does not allow changes to the mapping rules, then the Method is not present. A Server should prevent certain rules from being added to particular Roles. For example, a Server should refuse to allow an ANONYMOUS_5 (see 4.4.2) mapping rule to be added to Roles with administrator privileges.
The RemoveIdentity Method removes a mapping rule used to map a UserIdentityToken to the Role. If the Server does not allow changes to the mapping rules, then the Method is not present.
The AddApplication Method adds an ApplicationInstance Certificate to the list of Applications. If the Server does not enforce application restrictions or does not allow changes to the mapping rules for the Role the Method is not present.
The RemoveApplication Method removes an ApplicationInstance Certificate from the list of Applications. If the Server does not enforce application restrictions or does not allow changes to the mapping rules for the Role the Method is not present.

The IdentityMappingRuleType structure defines a single rule for selecting a UserIdentityToken. The structure is described in Table 7.

IdentityMappingRuleType |
Structure |
Specifies a rule used to map a UserIdentityToken to a Role. |
|
criteriaType |
Enumeration IdentityCriteriaType |
The type of criteria contained in the identity mapping rule. The IdentityCriteriaType is defined in 4.4.4. |
|
criteria |
String |
The criteria which the UserIdentityToken must meet for a Session to be mapped to the Role. The meaning of the criteria depends on the criteriaType. The criteria are a null or empty string for Anonymous and AuthenticatedUser. |
If the criteriaType is UserName, the criteria is a name of a user known to the Server, For example, the user could be the name of a local operating system account or a user managed by the server as defined in 5.2.
If the criteriaType is Thumbprint, the criteria is a thumbprint of an immediate user Certificate or an issuer Certificate in its chain which is trusted by the Server. For the criteria, the thumbprint shall be encoded as a hexadecimal string with upper case characters and without spaces.
If the criteriaType is Role, the criteria is a name of a restriction found in the Access Token. For example, the Role "subscriber" may only be allowed to access PubSub related Nodes.
If the criteriaType is GroupId, the criteria is a generic text identifier for a user group specific to the Authorization Service. For example, an Authorization Service providing access to an Active Directory may add one or more Windows Security Groups to the Access Token. OPC 10000-6 provides details on how groups are added to Access Tokens.
If the criteriaType is Anonymous, the criteria is a null or empty string which indicates no user credentials have been provided.
If the criteriaType is AuthenticatedUser, the criteria is a null or empty string which indicates any valid user credentials have been provided.
If the criteriaType is TrustedApplication, the criteria is a null or empty string which includes any Client application with a trusted ApplicationInstance Certificate. The Client Certificate shall be trusted by the Server and the Session shall use at least a signed communication channel.
If the criteriaType is Application, the criteria is the ApplicationUri from the Client Certificate used for the Session. The Client Certificate shall be trusted by the Server and the Session shall use at least a signed communication channel. This criteria type is used if a Role should be granted to a Session for Application Authentication with Anonymous UserIdentityToken. If a Role should be granted to a Session for Application Authentication combined with User Authentication, the Applications Property on the RoleType is combined with the Identities Property on the RoleType as defined in 4.4.1.
If the criteriaType is X509Subject, the criteria is the X509 subject name of a Certificate of a user which is trusted by the Server. The format of the subject name criteria consists of a sequence of name value pairs separated by a '/'. The name shall be one of entries in Table 8 and shall be followed by a '=' and then followed by the value, which is always enclosed in double quotes ('"'). The order shall be by the order shown in Table 8 with the lowest number first. Every value from Table 8 present in the Certificate shall be included in the criteria, others must not be included. The value may be any printable character except for '"'. For example: CN="User Name"/O="Company". Table 8 contains all subject name attributes where support is required by X509 and some commonly used attributes where support is optional. Additional fields may be added in the future. If one name is used multiple times in the certificate, the name is also repeated in the criteria. The entries with the same name are entered in the order they appear in the Certificate. All names listed in Table 8 that are included in the X509 subject name shall match the content of the criteria String. Names not included in Table 8 are ignored.
