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 TrustList to deploy to an Application host or it may be an Application that can only access the TrustList assigned to it.
The TrustList file is a UA Binary encoded stream containing an instance of TrustListDataType (see 7.8.2.6).
The Open Method shall not support modes other than Read (0x01) and the Write + EraseExisting (0x06).
If a transaction is in progress (see 7.10.6) then the Server shall return Bad_TransactionPending if Open is called with Write Mode bit set.
Servers shall automatically Close TrustLists if there are no calls to Methods on the TrustList Object within the time specified by the ActivityTimeout Property.
The Size Property inherited from FileType has no meaning for TrustList and returns the error code defined in OPC 10000-20.
When a Client opens the file for writing the Server will not actually update the TrustList 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 TrustList is not updated and the Server returns the appropriate Certificate error code (see OPC 10000-4).

|||||
Push Model for Global Certificate and TrustList Management |
The LastUpdateTime indicates when the TrustList was last updated. The LastUpdateTime shall reflect changes made using the TrustList Object Methods. A TrustList Object in a CertificateManager shall also reflect changes made in other ways.
The LastUpdateTime of a TrustList Object in a CertificateManager allows Clients using the PullManagement to know whether the TrustList has changed since the last time they accessed it. The LastUpdateTime of a TrustList Object in the ServerConfiguration allows administration Clients to check for out of date TrustLists.
The UpdateFrequency Property specifies how often the TrustList needs to be checked for changes. When the CertificateManager specifies this value, all Clients that read a copy of the TrustList should connect to the CertificateManager and check for updates to the TrustList within 2 times the UpdateFrequency. The choice of UpdateFrequency depends on how quickly system changes need to be detected and the performance constraints of the system. UpdateFrequencies that are too long create security risks because of out of date CRLs. UpdateFrequencies that are too short negatively impact system performance. If the TrustList Object is contained within a ServerConfiguration Object then this Property is not present.
The ActivityTimeout Property specifies the maximum elapsed time between the calls to Methods on the TrustList Object after Open or OpenWithMasks is called. If this time elapses the TrustList is automatically closed by the Server and any changes are discarded. The default value is 60 000 milliseconds (1 minute).
The DefaultValidationOptions Property specifies the default options to use when validating Certificates with the TrustList. The TrustListValidationOptions DataType is defined in 7.8.2.8. This Property may be updated by Clients with access to the SecurityAdmin Role.
If auditing is supported, the CertificateManager shall generate the TrustListUpdated AuditEventType (see 7.8.2.11) when 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.
After calling this Method, the Client calls Read one or more times to get the TrustList. If the Server is able to detect out of band changes to theTrustList before the Client calls the Close Method, then the next Read returns Bad_InvalidState. If the Server cannot detect out of band changes it shall ensure the Client receives a consistent snapshot.
For PullManagement, this Method shall be called from an authenticated SecureChannel and from a Client that has access to the CertificateAuthorityAdmin Role, the ApplicationSelfAdmin Privilege, or the ApplicationAdmin Privilege (see 7.2).
For PushManagement, this Method shall be called from an authenticated SecureChannel and from a Client that has access to the SecurityAdmin Role (see 7.2).

The CloseAndUpdate Method closes the TrustList and applies the changes to the TrustList. It can only be called if the TrustList was opened for writing. If the Close Method is called any cached data is discarded and the TrustList is not changed.
If only part of the TrustList is being updated the Server creates a new TrustList that includes the existing TrustList plus any updates and validates the new TrustList.
The Server shall verify that every Certificate in the new TrustList is valid using the validation process defined in OPC 10000-4. If an invalid Certificate is found the Server shall return an error and shall not replace the existing TrustList.
If the Server does not support transactions it applies the changes immediately and sets applyChangesRequired to FALSE. If the Server supports transactions then the Server creates a new transaction or continues an existing transaction and sets applyChangesRequired to TRUE.
If a transaction exists, the Server does not update the TrustList until ApplyChanges (see 7.10.6) is called. Any Clients that read the TrustList before ApplyChanges is called will receive the existing TrustList before the transaction started.
If errors occur, the new TrustList is discarded.
When the TrustList changes the Server shall re-evaluate the Certificate associated with any open Sessions. Sessions with an untrusted or revoked Certificate shall be closed.
The structure uploaded includes a mask (see 7.8.2.7) which specifies which fields are updated. If a bit is not set then the associated field is not changed.
Signature

fileHandle |

The AddCertificate Method allows a Client to add a single Certificate to the Trust List. The Server shall verify that the Certificate using the validation process defined in OPC 10000-4. If an invalid Certificate is found the Server shall return an error and shall not update the Trust List.
This Method will return a validation error if the Certificate is issued by a CA and the Certificate for the issuer is not in the Trust List.
This Method cannot provide CRLs so issuer Certificates cannot be added with this Method. Instead, CA Certificates and their CRLs shall be managed with the Write Method on the containing TrustList Object.
This Method cannot be called if the containing TrustList Object is open.
This Method returns Bad_TransactionPending if a transaction is in progress (see 7.10.6).
This Method returns Bad_NotWritable if the TrustList Object is read only.
For PullManagement, this Method shall be called from an authenticated SecureChannel and from a Client that has access to the CertificateAuthorityAdmin Role (see 7.2).

Description |

0 |
Ignore errors related to the validity time of the Certificate. |

1 |
Ignore mismatches between the host name or ApplicationUri. |

Ignore errors if the revocation list cannot be found for any issuer of issuer Certificates. |
CheckRevocationStatusOnline |
5 |
Check the revocation status online. |
CheckRevocationStatusOffline |
6 |
Check the revocation status offline. |
If CheckRevocationStatusOnline is set, the Certificate validation process defined in OPC 10000-4 will look for the authorityInformationAccess extension to find an OCSP (RFC 6960) endpoint which can be used to determine if the Certificate has been revoked.
If the OCSP endpoint is not reachable then the Certificate validation process looks for offline CRLs if the CheckRevocationStatusOffline bit is set. Otherwise, validation fails.
The revocation status flags only have meaning for issuer Certificates and are used when validating Certificates issued by that issuer.
The default value for this DataType only has the CheckRevocationStatusOffline bit set.
