Parameters

application

The OPC UA client/server application object that will perform the operation.

In client applications, this is typically obtained by calling System.IServiceProvider.GetService(System.Type) on the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.IEasyUAClient (EasyUAClient object) with the type of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.IEasyUAClientServerApplication as an argument.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

certificateSubId

The sub-id of the certificate. Normally an empty string.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

mustNotExist

Determines whether the certificate must be absent from the certificate store.

If the mustNotExist is true, the own certificate must not exist in the certificate store prior to the operation, otherwise an error is reported. If the mustNotExist is false, any preexisting own certificates for the application are removed from the certificate store before a new own certificate is created.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
