# Description Every other companion specification in the stack ships as `<Family>`, `<Family>.Client` and `<Family>.Server` — `Opc.Ua.Di`, `Opc.Ua.ISA95`, `Opc.Ua.Positioning`, `Opc.Ua.Robotics`, `Opc.Ua.Vision`, `Opc.Ua.WotCon`, `Opc.Ua.XRegistry`, and `Opc.Ua.Lds.Server` without a family package. GDS was the one exception, carrying a `.Common` suffix that named nothing. | Before | After | | --- | --- | | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds.Common` | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds` | | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds.Client.Common` | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds.Client` | | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.Common` | `src/Opc.Ua.Gds.Server` | ## No source changes were needed `RootNamespace` was already the final name in all three projects — the namespaces have always been `Opc.Ua.Gds`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Client` and `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server`, and only `AssemblyName` and `PackageId` disagreed. Nothing that compiles against these assemblies changes a `using` directive; the diff outside the moves is entirely ids, paths and prose. Directories were moved with `git mv`, and every one of the 73 file moves is detected as a rename at 100% similarity (bar the handful that also had a name in their text), so `git log --follow` and blame survive. ## Consumer impact The package ids change, which is visible to anyone consuming the NuGet packages: | 1.5.378 package | 2.0 package | | --- | --- | | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds.Common` | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds` | | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds.Client.Common` | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds.Client` | | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.Common` | `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.Gds.Server` | `docs/migrate/2.0.x/packages.md` gains a renamed-packages section — it is the document that undertakes to cover NuGet renames, and had no GDS entry — and the migration skill's package table gains the two rows a 1.5.378 consumer needs. That is the only hand-written content in this PR; everything else is mechanical. Assembly names follow the package ids, so the section also notes that binding redirects, trimming descriptors and signing manifests naming the files directly have to be updated. ## Build infrastructure Everything naming the projects or their output moves with them: - `UA.slnx` and `tools/MigrationAnalyzer.slnx` (both re-sorted — the project lists are alphabetical, and `Gds` now sorts before `Gds.Client`). - `.azurepipelines/expected-packages.txt` — 3 ids, also re-sorted for the same reason. - `.azurepipelines/signlistDebug.txt` and `signlistRelease.txt` — 18 paths each. Their internal ordering is left alone: that group was already unsorted, and reordering a signing manifest is diff noise. - `samples/Reference/ConsoleReferenceServer/Dockerfile`, the two metapackage nuspecs, the analyzer nuspec's package dependencies, and 8 `.csproj` references across tests, samples and tools. `preview-pack.slnx` is generated from `UA.slnx` by `generate-slnx.ps1`, so there is nothing static to edit. Nothing under `.github/workflows`, and no `.ps1`/`.yml` in `.azurepipelines`, names these projects. The migration analyzer's shim tree mirrors the source project layout by its own documented convention, so `Gds.Client.Common/` becomes `Gds.Client/` and its readme table follows. ## Deliberately not changed Prose naming past work: `plans/23` still records that its deferral happened during the "GDS Client.Common modernization", which is the name that effort had. File *paths* in the same document were updated. ## Validation `net10.0`: - `UA.slnx`: 0 errors. 14 warnings, all pre-existing CA1861/CA1850/CA1307 in `XRegistry`, `Types.Tests` and `WotCon.Tests` — none in anything this PR touches. - Assemblies build as `Opc.Ua.Gds.dll`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Client.dll`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.dll`, with no `*.Common.dll` produced anywhere. - `Opc.Ua.Gds.Tests`: 1,116 passed, 0 failed, 54 skipped. - `Opc.Ua.MigrationAnalyzer.Core.Tests`: 10 passed, 3 skipped. - A repo-wide grep for the old names returns only the intentional old → new mappings in the migration docs. ## Checklist - [x] Existing tests pass - [x] No new tests — this is a rename with no behaviour change - [x] Consumer-visible package rename documented in the migration guide 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.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.

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.
