Certificate management

Via the menu item Extras–Settings you will find the certificate management area next to the button for the basic settings. In this area you can import certificates, create your own certificates or view existing certificates.

The following buttons are available:

Import: With this button you have the possibility to import certificates from your PC into the OPC Router certificate administration. They will be available later in the drop-down menus of the individual applications.

View: Select a certificate in the list and click the “View” button to display the details and the path for the certificate.

Add private key: The private key is the secret key that will later be used to sign the encrypted connection. The private key is created by you and should not be made public. A private key can only be added for OPC Router certificates and not for trusted certificates.

Remove: Select a certificate and click the “Remove” button to delete this certificate from the list.

Create: With this button you can create your own certificates. Enter the appropriate properties and confirm your entries with “Create”. You can only create OPC Router certificates and not trusted certificates.

Revoke: Trusted certificates can be invalidated using the “Revoke” button. You can then only re-import it to use it as a valid trusted certificate again.
