The GetManagers Method allows a Registrar to provide the location of other managers on a network which are needed to support onboarding of Devices. The managers have network Endpoints that may support non-OPC UA protocols. The DCA has knowledge of what managers it can use and what protocol they use.

The response is a list of ManagerDescriptions that includes a URI which defines the purpose of the manager and a flag indicating whether the DCA is required to interact with the manager to complete the onboarding process.

Each ManagerDescription has 1 or more URLs which are network Endpoints accessible to the DCA.

This Method shall be called from an authenticated SecureChannel and from a Session that has access to the DCA Privilege (see 4.2.6).
