Fixes #4669. OPC 10000-3 §7.15 says the SourceNode of `GeneratesEvent` "shall be an ObjectType, a VariableType or a Method". CTT `Base Info Core Structure 2 001.js` flags every Object that is the source of one. #4667 fixed this in the source generator. This PR fixes the three remaining WoT places. ### 1. WotCon asset registry - `AssetRegistry.BuildEventNode` / `RemoveEventTypes` no longer add or remove `GeneratesEvent` from the asset Object. Event delivery already relies on `EventNotifier = SubscribeToEvents` and root-notifier registration. - Tests now assert the reference is **absent** and the notifier bit is set. The re-apply test asserts that the old EventType node is gone. ### 2. WoT NodeSet converter (`src/Opc.Ua.Types/Wot`) - **TD → NodeSet:** a last pass (`RelocateInstanceGeneratesEvent`) moves forward `GeneratesEvent` references off an Object/Variable root: - An event the bound type already declares needs nothing more. Matching is by qualified BrowseName against the local context's declarations, the same rule as the declaration merge. - Any other event is declared by a synthesized non-abstract `<rootLocal>Type`. It derives from the bound type (or from `BaseObjectType` / `BaseDataVariableType` when the TD binds none) and becomes the instance's `HasTypeDefinition`. A Variable root gets a `UAVariableType` with the instance's DataType and ValueRank. - Thing Models are unchanged: the projected type keeps its `GeneratesEvent`. - **NodeSet → TD:** - An instance's event affordances are now collected from its type definition and that type's supertypes. Instance-level `GeneratesEvent` is still read for third-party NodeSets. - In a single readable document, a type that only carries one instance's events (only `HasSubtype` + `GeneratesEvent`, typing exactly one instance) is not chosen as root. It is folded back: its supertype becomes the type binding, and no link is written when that supertype is the default base type. The TD → NodeSet → TD round trip stays readable, with no `uav:nodes` fallback. - A document set gives the carrier its own Thing Model, and the instance TD binds to it. - **Archive check:** an event affordance is accepted when the root's type definition, or one of its supertypes, generates it. - `docs/WoTNodeSetConversion.md` documents the behaviour in a new "Event source" row. ### 3. Aggregation sample - `SamplePump.NodeSet2.xml`: each pump is typed by its own `PumpType` subtype, `ns=1;s=Pump1.Type` (`Pump_1Type`) and `Pump2.Type`, which declares its alarm EventTypes. - It is per pump because each pump owns its alarm EventTypes. `Pump2.Type` is cloned with the rest of Pump2. - The pumps keep `EventNotifier="1"` and no longer carry `GeneratesEvent`. - The checked-in documents are regenerated, adding `sample-pump-pump-1type.json` / `-2type.json`. The pump TDs still list the alarm event affordances. - The sample binding lookup ignores Thing Models, because the type's TM declares the same EventType as the pump TD. A declaration missing from the instance still fails as before. - Docs: `WoTConnectivity.md` (asset event affordances, §12.4.2) and `WotBindings.md`. The `GeneratesEvent` clause in the sample-limitation note was already stale, so I removed it. ### Runtime check `WotNativeOwnershipIndex` only uses `GeneratesEvent` in its alias table. Projected event routing takes the owner from `uav:componentOf` / `uav:id` and the notifier from Parent/`HasNotifier`. Nothing in `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Server` reads an instance-level `GeneratesEvent`. ### Tests (net10.0) - `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests`: 11446 passed, 1 skipped. New `WotInstanceEventSourceTests` covers object and variable roots, TMs, the TD with no events, the folded round trip, the legacy instance reference and the document set. Two bound-type cases were added to `WotDeclarationMergeBoundaryTests`. - `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings.Tests`: 714 passed. - `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Tests`: 1496 passed, including the byte-exact sample regeneration tests. - net48 build of both test projects is clean, and `dotnet format whitespace` is clean.

Introduction
This document is referring to the CTT version 1.04.9.398.
This OPC Server is designed to be the default OPC UA Server when opening the OPC UA Compliance Test Tool and it uses an address-space that matches the design of the UACTT and the requirements for OPC UA compliance testing.
It uses the OPC Foundation UA .NET Standard Library. Therefore it supports both the opc.tcp and https transports. There is a .NET framework based server with UI and a .NET Core console version of the server which runs on any OS supporting .NET 8.0 and later.
How to build and run the Windows OPC UA Reference Server with UACTT
- Open the solution UA.slnx with Visual Studio 2026.
- Choose the project
Reference Serverin the Solution Explorer and set it with a right click asStartup Project. - Hit
F5to build and execute the sample.
How to build and run the console OPC UA Reference Server on Windows, Linux and iOS
This section describes how to run the ConsoleReferenceServer.
Please follow instructions in this article to setup the dotnet command line environment for your platform.
Start the server
- Open a command prompt.
- Navigate to the folder samples/Reference/ConsoleReferenceServer.
- To run the server sample type
dotnet run --project ConsoleReferenceServer.csproj. The server is now running and waiting for the connection of the UACTT.
UACTT test certificates
The reference server always rejects new client certificates and requires that the UACTT certificates are in appropriate folders.
- The console server certificates are stored in %LocalApplicationData%/OPC Foundation/pki.
- The Windows .NET framework server stores the certificates in %CommonApplicationData%\OPC Foundation\pki.
- %CommonApplicationData% maps to the path set by the environment variable ProgramData on Windows.
- %LocalApplicationData% maps to a hidden location in the user home folder and depends on the target platform. See Certificates for more information.
Certificate stores
Under pki, the following stores contain certificates under certs, CRLs under crl or private keys under private.
- own contains the reference server public certificate and private key.
- rejected contains the rejected client certificates. To trust a client certificate, copy the rejected certificate to the trusted/certs folder.
- trusted contains trusted client and CAs certificates and CRLs.
- issuer contains CAs certificates and CRLs needed for validation.
- trustedUser contains trusted user and user CA certificates and CRLs.
- issuerUser contains user CA certificates and CRLs needed for validation of the certificate chains.
Placing the UACTT certificates
CTT creates a PKI folder in a new project. There is a subfolder copyToServer which contains the application and user identity certificates. Copy the ApplicationInstance_PKI certificates for testing with the UACTT to the following stores:
- trusted/certs: trusted certificates
- trusted/crl: revocation lists of trusted certificates
- issuer/certs: issuer certificates
- issuer/crl: revocation lists of issuer certificates
Copy the X509UserIdentity_PKI certificates for testing with the UACTT to the following stores:
- trustedUser/certs: trusted user certificates
- trustedUser/crl: revocation lists of trusted user certificates
- issuerUser/certs: user issuer certificates
- issuerUser/crl: revocation lists of user issuer certificates
UACTT Testing
Download and install the OPC UA Compliance Test Tool.
Note: Access to the UACTT is granted to OPC Foundation Corporate Members.
UACTT sample configuration
A sample configuration for the UACTT Version 1.04.9.398 can be found in UAReferenceServer.ctt.xml. Originally the reference server was certified only against the Standard UA Server profile, the Method Server Facet and the DataAccess Server Facet, in addition to all security related profiles. During release testing all Conformance Units should be enabled / checked.
Enabling Alarms & Conditions
The address space for Alarms contains a Start method which needs to be called to produce alarms for CTT testing. The method is called from a connected client.
The ConsoleReferenceServer has also a command line option -ctt which starts the Alarms when the server is started. The following Alarm instances are available for monitoring:
AlarmConditionTypeDiscrepancyAlarmTypeLimitAlarmTypeExclusiveLimitAlarmTypeExclusiveDeviationAlarmTypeExclusiveRateOfChangeAlarmTypeNonExclusiveLimitAlarmTypeNonExclusiveDeviationAlarmTypeNonExclusiveRateOfChangeAlarmTypeDiscreteAlarmTypeSystemOffNormalAlarmTypeExclusiveLevelAlarmTypeNonExclusiveLevelAlarmTypeOffNormalAlarmType
Known missing Tests and Issues
Depending on the setup in the provided project configuration, unsupported profiles should be skipped. At the time of writing (1.4.368) the following tests, profiles or facets are not yet covered or not configured due to issues:
- no support for events, historian and only a few basic Alarms & Conditions.
- Decimal type causes crash of CTT (needs investigation)
- no Image / Enumeration scalar test cases
- Arrays may not include Variant (needs investigation)
- no ArrayItemType implemented
- multiple hierarchical references test node missing
- deprecated security profiles support for SHA1/1k RSA keys implemented not according to certification. SHA1/1k keys can only be turned on/off for all profiles, not just for the deprecated profiles.
- Monitored Items with array are failing a few test cases.
It is recommended to run the server as retail build with disabled logging, to avoid side effects due to timing artifacts when log entries are written to a disk drive.
Running the CTT against a Docker container
Please refer to the Docker container of the Reference Server documentation page. Once setup to map the certificate store and the configuration to a local folder, follow the instructions above to copy the certificates to the PKI and get started.
