## Description Server-side `MonitoredItem` sampling interval revision is based on the per-node `BaseVariableState.MinimumSamplingInterval` attribute, not on any global server setting — `ServerConfiguration.MinMetadataSamplingInterval` was dead configuration that was never read by any code path. Per maintainer feedback, this PR removes it instead of wiring it into revision logic that was never meant to consume it. Separately, the concern that `Subscription.MaxNotificationsPerPublish` isn't revised by the server was verified against existing coverage: `CreateSubscriptionWithNotificationLimitsUsesEffectiveLimitAsync` / `ModifySubscriptionWithNotificationLimitsUsesEffectiveLimitAsync` in `SubscriptionTests.cs` already assert the server clamps a client-requested value down to the configured server limit (e.g. requested `25` vs. server limit `10` → revised `10`). ### Removed `MinMetadataSamplingInterval` - Dropped the `ServerConfiguration.MinMetadataSamplingInterval` property (`ApplicationConfiguration.cs`) and its XSD element - Dropped `SetMinMetadataSamplingInterval` from `IApplicationConfigurationBuilder` / `ApplicationConfigurationBuilder` - Removed the element from sample and test server configuration XML files (`Ctt.ReferenceServer.Config.xml`, `Quickstarts.ReferenceServer.Config.xml`, GDS test configs, `test-server-full.xml`) - Updated `ApplicationConfigurationBuilderTests` and `ConfigurationRoundTripTests` to drop assertions on the removed property ## Related Issues ## Checklist - [ ] I have signed the [CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf) and read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) doc. - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works and increased code coverage. - [ ] I have added all necessary documentation. - [ ] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or analyzer warnings. - [ ] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed. - [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and **all** CodeQL warnings. - [ ] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT SUFFIX --> - Fixes #4191 --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: marcschier <11168470+marcschier@users.noreply.github.com>
OPC Foundation UA .NET Standard Reference Server
Introduction
The console reference server can be configured using several console parameters. Some of these parameters are explained in more detail below.
To see all available parameters call console reference server with the parameter -h.
Reverse Connect
The OPC UA reverse connect feature allows an OPC UA server to initiate the connection to a client, rather than the traditional model where clients connect to servers. This is particularly useful in scenarios where the server is behind a firewall or NAT, making it difficult for clients to directly connect to it.
How to use Reverse Connect
To enable reverse connect mode, specify the client endpoint URL using the --rc or --reverseconnect parameter:
dotnet ConsoleReferenceServer.dll --rc=opc.tcp://localhost:65300
or
dotnet ConsoleReferenceServer.dll --reverseconnect=opc.tcp://localhost:65300
Example: Server and Client with Reverse Connect
-
Start the client with reverse connect listener on port 65300:
dotnet ConsoleReferenceClient.dll --rc=opc.tcp://localhost:65300 opc.tcp://localhost:62541/Quickstarts/ReferenceServer -
In a separate terminal, start the server with reverse connect to the client:
dotnet ConsoleReferenceServer.dll --rc=opc.tcp://localhost:65300 -a
The server will establish a reverse connection to the client endpoint, and the client will use this connection to communicate with the server.
Additional Options

X509 user identity certificates
The reference server validates X509 user identity tokens against its trusted-user certificate
store (TrustedUserCertificates, by default %LocalApplicationData%/OPC Foundation/pki/trustedUser).
An untrusted user certificate is rejected with BadIdentityTokenRejected — the --autoaccept option
only auto-accepts the application/channel certificate, never user identity certificates.
To let a trusted client (for example the OPC Foundation Compliance Test Tool) authenticate with an
X509 user token, its user certificate must be present in that store. To make provisioning easy, the
server writes every rejected X509 user certificate to a dedicated review store,
pki/rejectedUser (a sibling of pki/trustedUser). After one failing activation you can move the
legitimate user certificate from pki/rejectedUser/certs into pki/trustedUser/certs (and any
issuing CA into pki/issuerUser/certs) and reconnect. Deliberately-untrusted certificates simply stay
out of the trusted store and continue to be rejected.
