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. You can enter -?, -h or --help (possibly preceded by the command name) at any time to obtain help for this prompt (or its commands).

registerToGds opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:58810/GlobalDiscoveryServer -eu appadmin:demo (registerToGds can be shortened to rtg).

findGdsRegistrations opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:58810/GlobalDiscoveryServer -eu appadmin:demo (findGdsRegistrations can be shortened to fgr).


obtainNewCertificate opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:58810/GlobalDiscoveryServer -eu appadmin:demo

refreshTrustLists opc.tcp://opcua.demo-this.com:58810/GlobalDiscoveryServer -eu appadmin:demo

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.
