3.4 Certificate handling
During the first connection attempt of the client the certificate of the client will be transferred
to the SINUMERIK OPC UA server. If the setting "Accept certificates automatically" is set, the
client certificate will be automatically trusted and the connection can be established. If the
setting is deactivated, the certificate will be treated as untrusted and needs to be trusted
manually before the connection can be established.
In this case, the server will report an error (BadSecurityChecksFailed) on initial connection
attempt if the provided client certificate is not trusted.
Prerequisites

Trusting client certificates is only possible with the SINUMERIK protection level 1
