Kepserver 6.8 UA Server certificate loading error

[MT_8947623]

Hello, is there a way to disable the certificate verification on startup for Kepserver 6.8 so that I will not get error message like this "The UA Server certificate is expired. Please use the OPC UA Configuration Manager to reissue ... "

Article - "The UA Server Certificate has expired. Please use the OPC UA Configuration Manager to reissue the certificate in PTC Kepware Products": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS387585

Thanks.

Is there a way to do those steps programmatically ? Is there API to read the UA Server certificate expiration date ?

In the Windows product, no not currently. The end user can of course programmatically generate their own self-signed certificate using OpenSSL outside of Kepware but a couple of things:
1- if they want to use Kepware to generate their self-signed certificate, they must do this via the GUI in the Windows product currently.
2- if they decide to generate their self-signed certificate outside of Kepware, then they still need to use the Kepware GUI to import the new certificate.

--> If I generate the self-signed certificate using OpenSSL, can I just copy that certificate to the path that Kepware stores them ?

No, the certificate must be imported using the related GUI workflow.
