Certificates always consist of a certificate file and a certificate key file that you must transfer
to the reader. Remember that you first need to import the data into the reader before you can
enable it.
Contact your administrative IT department for more information on the topic.

Selection of the certificate type
Select the required certificate type from the drop-down list and click on the
"Update" button to display the certificates matching the selected certificate
type.
•
HTTPS certificate
HTTPS certificate of the reader.
•
OPC UA server certificates
OPC UA server certificate of the reader.
•
OPC UA client certificates
OPC UA client certificates of the communication partner of the reader.
•
OPC UA certificates
Root certificates from certification authorities. Certification authorities are
organizations that issue signed certificates that were derived from their
certificates for network participants. This means the CA certificates are root
certificates for the client certificates. Client certificates for which a valid CA
certificate exists are automatically accepted during connection setup.
•
OPC UA issuer certificates
Root certificates from certification authorities. Unlike CA certificates, client
certificates derived from issuer certificates must still be accepted and
permitted by an administrator with the "Accept" button.
Note that the selection of the certificate type has an effect on the display of the
subsequent parameters.

List of all existing certificates
The certificates included in this list with a black background are considered as
trustworthy by the reader. To display details of a certificate, select the required
certificate in the list. The selected certificate field is highlighted in color.
Certificates displayed in red have not yet been classified as trustworthy. A
client using such a certificate cannot yet establish a connection to the OPC UA
partner. These certificates must still be accepted and permitted by an
administrator with the "Accept" button. Certificates displayed in black have
already been accepted and are classified as trustworthy.
Depending on the selected certificate type, you can delete existing certificates.
To do so, select the desired certificate in the list and click on the "Delete"
button.
