The common information model defines types that are used in both the Push and the Pull Model.

This type defines a FileType that can be used to access a Trust List.

The CertificateManager uses this type to implement the Pull Model.

Servers use this type when implementing the Push Model.

An instance of a TrustListType shall restrict access to appropriate users or applications. This may be a CertificateManager administrative user that can change the contents of a Trust List, it may be an Administrative user that is reading a Trust List to deploy to an Application host or it may be an Application that can only access the Trust List assigned to it.

The Trust List file is a UA Binary encoded stream containing an instance of TrustListDataType (see 7.5.7).

The Open Method shall not support modes other than Read (0x01) and the Write + EraseExisting (0x06).

When a Client opens the file for writing the Server will not actually update the Trust List until the CloseAndUpdate Method is called. Simply calling Close will discard the updates. The bit masks in TrustListDataType structure allow the Client to only update part of the Trust List.

When the CloseAndUpdate Method is called the Server will validate all new Certificates and CRLs. If this validation fails the Trust List is not updated and the Server returns the appropriate Certificate error code (see OPC 10000-4).

The LastUpdateTime indicates when the Trust List was last updated via Trust List Object Methods. This can be used to determine if a device has an up to date Trust List or to detect unexpected modifications. Out of band changes are not necessarily reported by this value.

The UpdateFrequency Property specifies how often the Trust List needs to be checked for changes. When the CertificateManager specifies this value, all Clients that read a copy of the Trust List should connect to the CertificateManager and check for updates to the Trust List within 2 times the UpdateFrequency. If the Trust List Object is contained within a ServerConfiguration Object then this value specifies how frequently the Server expects the Trust List to be updated.

If auditing is supported, the CertificateManager shall generate the TrustListUpdatedAuditEventType (see 7.5.18) if the CloseAndUpdate, AddCertificate or RemoveCertificate Methods are called.

The OpenWithMasks Method allows a Client to read only the portion of the Trust List.

This Method can only be used to read the Trust List.

The CloseAndUpdate Method closes the file and applies the changes to the Trust List. It can only be called if the file was opened for writing. If the Close Method is called any cached data is discarded and the Trust List is not changed.

The Server shall verify that every Certificate in the new Trust List is valid according to the mandatory rules defined in OPC 10000-4. If an invalid Certificate is found the Server shall return an error and shall not update the Trust List. If only part of the Trust List is being updated the Server creates a temporary Trust List that includes the existing Trust List plus any updates and validates the temporary Trust List.

If the file cannot be processed this Method still closes the file and discards the data before returning an error. This Method is required if the Server supports updates to the Trust List.

The structure uploaded includes a mask (see 7.5.8) which specifies which fields are updated. If a bit is not set then the associated field is not changed.

The AddCertificate Method allows a Client to add a single Certificate to the Trust List. The Server shall verify that the Certificate is valid according to the rules defined in OPC 10000-4. If an invalid Certificate is found the Server shall return an error and shall not update the Trust List.

If the Certificate is issued by a CA then the Client shall provide the entire chain in the certificate argument (see OPC 10000-6). After validating the Certificate, the Server shall add the CA Certificates to the Issuers list in the Trust List. The leaf Certificate is added to the list specified by the isTrustedCertificate argument.

The TrustList Object is the Trust List associated with the Certificate Group.

The CertificateTypes Property specifies the NodeIds of the CertificateTypes which may be assigned to Applications which belong to the Certificate Group. For example, a Certificate Group with the NodeId of RsaMinApplicationCertificateType (see 7.5.15) and the NodeId RsaSha256ApplicationCertificate (see 7.5.16) specified allows an Application to have one Application Instance Certificates for each type. Abstract base types may be used in this value and indicate that any subtype is allowed. If this list is empty then the Certificate Group does not allow Certificates to be assigned to Applications (i.e. the Certificate Group exists to allow the associated Trust List to be read or updated). All CertificateTypes for a given Certificate Group shall be subtypes of a single common type which shall be either ApplicationCertificateType or HttpsCertificateType.

The CertificateExpired Object is an Alarm which is raised when the Certificate associated with the CertificateGroup is about to expire. The CertificateExpirationAlarmType is defined in OPC 10000-9.

The TrustListOutOfDate Object is an Alarm which is raised when the Trust List has not been updated within the period specified by the UpdateFrequency (see 7.5.2). The TrustListOutOfDateAlarmType is defined in 7.5.9.

The GetRejectedList Method returns the list of Certificates that have been rejected by the Server when using the TrustList associated with the CertificateGroup. It can be used to track activity or allow administrators to move a rejected Certificate into the TrustList.

No rules are defined for how the Server updates this list or how long a Certificate is kept in the list. It is recommended that every valid but untrusted Certificate be added to the rejected list as long as storage is available. Servers should omit older entries from the list returned if the maximum message size is not large enough to allow the entire list to be returned.

This Method requires an encrypted channel and that the Client provides credentials with administrative rights on the Server.

The DefaultApplicationGroup Object represents the default Certificate Group for Applications. It is used to access the default Application Trust List and to define the CertificateTypes allowed for the ApplicationInstanceCertificate. This Object shall specify the ApplicationCertificateType NodeId (see 7.5.12) as a single entry in the CertificateTypes list or it shall specify one or more subtypes of ApplicationCertificateType.

The DefaultHttpsGroup Object represents the default Certificate Group for HTTPS communication. It is used to access the default HTTPS Trust List and to define the CertificateTypes allowed for the HTTPS Certificate. This Object shall specify the HttpsCertificateType NodeId (see 7.5.13) as a single entry in the CertificateTypes list or it shall specify one or more subtypes of HttpsCertificateType.

This DefaultUserTokenGroup Object represents the default Certificate Group for validating user credentials. It is used to access the default user credential Trust List and to define the CertificateTypes allowed for user credentials Certificate. This Object shall leave CertificateTypes list empty.

This event is raised when a Trust List is changed.

This is the result of a CloseAndUpdate Method on a TrustListType Object being called.

It shall also be raised when the AddCertificate or RemoveCertificate Method causes an update to the Trust List.
