Example:

At the OpcCmd> prompt, enter uaClient getService uaClientApplication, or shortened: uac gs uaca. The program responds with the name of the client application (""OPC Command-line Tool"), which will be used for registrations to GDS. If this is the first time the program is run, it also creates its self-signed client certificate.

All following commands are entered at the uaClientApplication> prompt. Enter -?, -h or --help (possibly preceded by the command name) to obtain help for this prompt (or its commands).

removeInstanceCertificate

You can check the parameters of the client instance certificate by entering getInstanceCertificate, or shortened: gic.

If you want to force the application to generate a new self-signed client certificate, you can do so by entering removeInstanceCertificate, or shortened: ric. This might be useful e.g. for repeated testing against a GDS, if you have already received a client certificate from GDS (signed by a certificate authority), and want to revert to the initial state. At the next OPC UA operation, the application will generate a new self-signed certificate for itself, and use it for subsequent operations.
