OPC UA Server with Custom PKI: Add caFile

This step applies if you are running OPC UA Server services with a custom PKI — that is, you have configured your own certificateFile and privateKeyFile signed by your organization's CA. If you do not use the OPC UA Server, skip this step.

Previously, the only way to provide your CA certificate to the OPC UA Server was to manually place it in /app/.config/node-opcua-default-nodejs inside the container. Connectware 2.4.0 introduces the caFile property as the recommended way to provide the CA certificate to the OPC UA Server.

To migrate, add caFile to the properties of your OPC UA Server resource in each affected service commissioning file, pointing to the path of your CA certificate inside the container:

resources:
  opcuaServer:
    type: Cybus::Server::Opcua
    properties:
      protocol: OpcuaServer
      certificateFile: /path/to/server.crt
      privateKeyFile: /path/to/server.key
      caFile: /path/to/ca.crt
