This video demonstrate how to connect to the OPCUA server in secure mode
So first, insure in OPCUA configuration tool under security that you have the correction options selected
So, you would want user authentication check, I have allowed anonymous if I want to do that as well
And then secure security policy also check
and than you save it
and then you launch the OPCUA server
and for this video we're just going to use the OPCUA testing client
so we'll copy and paste the server endpoint URL into the client and click connect
for secure mode, instead of just connect anonymous, we'll select username and click ok
We'll select username for the authentication mode
And then I'll put my account information in for my PC
Ok so this is very common
Most people forget to do something, to avoid this from happening, so this is when the OPCUA installed
it installs an account, it's called OFSUA_ACL account
So your computer username must be associated with that particular group
So let's go do that
So to do that
on the search you want to type in
LUSRMGR.mse
R
and here it is Microsoft Common Console, so we click on this
And then if you go to groups you'll see that OFSUA_AC group was created during the installation of the OPCUA sever
So to associate your user account to that group
Right click and select properties
as you can see there's no user that's part of this group, so we select Add
and I'll do a find and now scroll down
and pick Geoff
ok
and select ok
So now Geoff is a member of this group
and so that should allow me to connect to the OPCUA server in secure mode
So I'll select Apply and click ok
Minimize this for now
and let's try it again
Connect
user name is ok there
And we'll select username
Select Geoff and put in the password
Now there we go, so now I am connected
I can see some tags from my PLCs
from the M340 I can see
also from the M580 PLC that is connected right now
and that's pretty much it
If you're getting that error message when you connect it's because your login account is not a member of that particular group that's created
for the OPCUA server, which is the OFSUA_ACL group
Thank you for watching!
