UA Part 12: Discovery and Global Services

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).

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).
