## Summary Fixes the findings of a bug audit of `Opc.Ua.Server`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server` and `Opc.Ua.Gds.Client`. Rebased on master after #4516. What went in: - **Audit:** 93 findings, each checked against the OPC UA specification. - **Code review of those fixes:** 35 further findings. - **Spec grounding of every fix commit:** 18 conformance gaps, now closed. Commits are one per finding, named `Fix <ID>`, `Fix review <ID>` or `Fix spec gap <name>`. The IDs refer to the audit report (S = Server areas, G1 = GDS server, G2 = GDS client). Validation: - Each finding was traced in code and checked against OPC 10000 (parts 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20). - Every fix commit was checked against the spec text again afterwards: 0 non-conformant, remaining gaps fixed. - Regression tests were added for most fixes. - Suites run on net10.0 before the rebase: Server, GDS, History, Configuration, Features, Core.Security, DI, Redundancy, LDS, InformationModel, PubSub.Server, Client, Sessions and the three Subscriptions suites, all green. The same suites on the rebased branch are still running; results will be posted as a comment. ## Behaviour and user-facing changes ### Secure defaults - **`Historize()` / `HistorianBuilder`** grant HistoryRead only. History writes need an explicit `historyAccessLevel: HistoryRead | HistoryWrite`. - **File-system mount:** - Anonymous sessions can no longer create, delete, move or open files for writing (`Bad_UserAccessDenied`). - UserWritable and UserExecutable now reflect the user. - `AllowAnonymousWrite` restores the old behaviour; the ReferenceServer sample turns it on. - **Default PKI root** for the hosted server, hosted GDS, hosted LDS and `OpcUaApplicationConfigurationProvider`: - Moved from the shared temp directory to `{LocalApplicationData}/OPC Foundation/{ApplicationName}/pki`, and startup fails if no per-user directory exists. - When certificate stores of an earlier version still exist under temp, a warning names both paths. Existing deployments that relied on the default get a new application certificate (and the hosted GDS a new CA) unless `PkiRoot` is set to the old path. - **GDS:** - `GdsServerOptions.AutoApprove` defaults to `false`. - The default KeyCredential store grants no roles unless `AuthorizeRoles` allows them. - Certificate requests (StartSigningRequest, StartNewKeyPairRequest, FinishRequest) need an encrypted channel. - **Hosted server anonymous logins:** - Anonymous is rejected (`Bad_IdentityTokenRejected`) when the default authenticator options disable it. - A custom `AddIdentityAuthenticator<T>()` on its own no longer disables anonymous. - With anonymous disabled and no configured token policies, the endpoint advertises the authenticators' token types instead of Anonymous. - **Runtime-added roles:** their properties and methods need SecurityAdmin over an encrypted channel, like the well-known roles. - **Disabled users:** users disabled through Part 18 UserManagement can no longer log in through `RegisterDefaultAuthenticators(IUserDatabase)`. ### GDS server (Part 12) - **Certificate requests:** - FinishRequest / ReadRequest with another application's RequestId returns `Bad_InvalidArgument`. - Every Start*Request returns a new RequestId. - A CSR without the ApplicationUri is rejected (`Bad_CertificateUriInvalid`). - An abstract or unsupported certificate type is rejected at Start (`Bad_InvalidArgument`). - **Private-key password:** no longer persisted in the JSON applications database. A password saved by an earlier version is read into memory once and dropped on the next save. - **CheckRevocationStatus:** validates offline against the GDS's own trust lists and CRLs. It returns Good for good GDS-issued certificates and `Bad_CertificateInvalid` for input that is not a certificate. - **Certificate-group trust lists:** - Writes need CertificateAuthorityAdmin; SecurityAdmin and application admins are read-only. - Writes are validated with the Part 4 certificate validation. - **AuthorizationService:** - The legacy RequestAccessToken applies `AccessControl` and issues the token for the session identity. - StartRequestToken passes the session identity to every identity-aware provider. - Unknown ResourceIds return `Bad_NotFound`. - Expired token requests and refresh tokens are pruned, with at most 10 000 pending requests (`Bad_TooManyOperations`). - **KeyCredential:** requests with PublicKey + SecurityPolicyUri are rejected with `Bad_SecurityPolicyRejected` (secret encryption is not implemented); a PublicKey without SecurityPolicyUri is rejected with `Bad_InvalidArgument`. - **Audit events:** access-token audit events no longer contain the password or token data. - **RegisterTickets / UnregisterTickets:** need the RegistrarAdmin role when called from a session. - **Managed application nodes:** moved from namespace 0 to their own namespace (`ManagedApplicationsNamespaceUri`); the NodeId is the ApplicationUri, and the mandatory child properties exist. - **Hosted GDS:** - New `GdsServerOptions.CertificateGroups` (`GdsCertificateGroupOptions`), bindable from configuration. - The mandatory DefaultApplicationGroup is always present. - The default CA subject uses the resolved application name. - **JSON applications database:** - A corrupt file throws instead of being silently replaced by an empty database. - Saves are atomic and write in place on bind mounts; on net8+ builds they also follow symlinks and keep the Unix file mode. - Issued certificates and trust-list links survive a reload. ### GDS client - **Trust-list download:** - Reads until an empty chunk (Part 20 short reads). - A size-limit rejection of the final end-of-file read, as sent by released servers, counts as end of file. - **Default certificate group:** a null group means DefaultApplicationGroup, and vendor groups in other namespaces are no longer mistaken for well-known groups. - **Status codes and errors:** - Missing directory proxies report `Bad_ServerNotConnected`. - Short or wrongly typed method outputs throw `BadUnexpectedError` / `BadTypeMismatch`. - **GdsAccessTokenProvider:** no longer caches a failed client task, and one caller's cancellation no longer fails other callers. ### Trust lists, push and ConfigurationFile (Part 12 / Part 20) - **AddCertificate:** - `IsTrustedCertificate=false` returns `Bad_CertificateInvalid`. - Added certificates are validated (Part 4), and a certificate revoked by a current CRL returns `Bad_CertificateRevoked`. - **CloseAndUpdate:** validates the uploaded list against its own certificates and CRLs, not the stores it replaces. Validation failures are no longer recorded in the server's Rejected store. - **RemoveCertificate:** removing a trusted or issuer CA that other certificates still need returns `Bad_CertificateChainIncomplete`. - **Handles:** - Several read handles may be open at once. - Any open while a write handle exists returns `Bad_NotReadable` / `Bad_NotWritable`. - A write open while any handle is open returns `Bad_NotWritable`. - Handles of closed sessions are released. - Idle handles close after ActivityTimeout (default 60 s). - **Status codes:** - Read clamps to the remaining bytes and no longer enforces the size limit. - Oversized Write / AddCertificate returns `Bad_RequestTooLarge`. - Unsupported open modes return `Bad_NotSupported`. - **ConfigurationFile.CloseAndUpdate:** - Empty Targets return `Bad_InvalidArgument`. - The ConfigurationUpdatedAuditEvent is raised with the configuration owner as source. - With the new `IApplicationConfigurationFileTargetProvider`, providers receive the Targets, a bad target returns Uncertain with per-target results, and session-interrupting updates are applied after RestartDelayTime. - **Default namespace permissions:** namespaces registered after the first permission lookup now get their NamespaceMetadata default RolePermissions and AccessRestrictions (no stale negative cache). ### Sessions, identity and roles (Part 18) - **Session timeouts:** a failure closing one timed-out session no longer stops the session-timeout monitor. - **ChangePassword:** an empty old password returns `Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid`. - **Removing or disabling a user:** closes only that user's UserName-token sessions. - **Role configuration changes:** roles granted by an `ImpersonateUser` mapping are kept. - **X509Subject rules:** a certificate subject value containing a quote never matches an X509Subject rule. - **`ImpersonateUser` callback:** no longer runs under the global session lock. - **Session diagnostics:** LocaleIds are kept as the client sent them, while null LocaleIds are ignored for translation. ### Subscriptions and monitored items (Part 4) - **Acknowledgements:** a failing acknowledgement returns a per-entry Bad status instead of failing the whole Publish. - **`DiscardedMessageCount`:** counts messages dropped from the retransmission queue and unsent overflow messages. - **Durable subscriptions:** transferring a restored anonymous subscription works (no NullReferenceException). - **Transferred subscriptions:** sampling and permission checks use the item's current owner session. - **Access denied:** a monitored item whose user may no longer read the attribute gets a `Bad_UserAccessDenied` notification instead of going silent. Non-Value attributes need Browse permission (RolePermissions needs ReadRolePermissions), and User* attributes are evaluated per subscriber. - **ModifyMonitoredItems:** a SamplingInterval of -1 uses the subscription's publishing interval. - **AggregateFilter priming:** needs HistoryRead / ReadHistory permission and is bounded (100 000 values, bounded page size). - **Resource leak:** event monitored items no longer leak a consumer task per create/delete cycle. ### Node management services (Part 3 / Part 4) - **Reference types:** AddNodes, AddReferences, DeleteReferences and Browse reject ids that are not ReferenceTypes with `Bad_ReferenceTypeIdInvalid`. AddNodes, AddReferences and DeleteReferences also reject abstract ReferenceTypes; Browse still accepts them (e.g. `HierarchicalReferences` with includeSubtypes). - **Concurrent AddNodes:** duplicate BrowseNames under one parent get `Bad_BrowseNameDuplicated`. - **TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds:** - Requires Browse permission on intermediate nodes and final targets (RolePermissions and AccessRestrictions). - A long RelativePath no longer rejects the whole request. - **SemanticChangeEvent:** - Raised once per actual change of a semantic property, whether or not it is monitored. - Also raised for properties with the SemanticChange access-level bit. - Reports the owning node's TypeDefinition as AffectedType. - **Localized diagnostics:** operation-level text is translated when OperationLocalizedText is requested. ### History and aggregates (Part 11 / Part 13) - **DeleteRawModified:** an unspecified or reversed range returns `Bad_InvalidTimestampArgument`, and StartTime == EndTime deletes the value at StartTime for every provider. - **ReadAtTime fallback:** reads only the values around each requested time. A time whose bound is not found within the search limit returns `Bad_BoundNotSupported` instead of failing the request. - **ReadProcessed:** a ProcessingInterval shorter than one tick returns `Bad_AggregateInvalidInputs`. - **Delta / DeltaBounds:** widen to the next larger signed type when the result does not fit the source type (e.g. a decreasing unsigned counter, or an Int16 overflow). - **Range / Range2:** return the source data type. ### Alarms and fluent API (Part 9) - **Suppression:** an alarm stays suppressed while any suppression group is active, and re-evaluation without a state change does not move TransitionTime. - **`MonitorVariable(variable)`:** sets SourceNode, SourceName and InputNode to the variable and makes it a ConditionSource (HasCondition to the alarm, HasEventSource from the object). - **Fluent input/output arguments:** InputArguments / OutputArguments added through the fluent API to a registered method are readable. - **Root notifiers:** a failed root-notifier registration no longer leaves an orphaned event worker. - **State-machine handlers:** exceptions are logged at Error. ### File system (Part 20) - **Delete / MoveOrCopy:** - Only act on direct children of the directory. - A NodeId whose kind does not match the entry returns `Bad_NotFound` (a file NodeId can no longer delete a directory). - Copying a directory into its own subtree returns `Bad_InvalidArgument`. - **Locking:** - An open file, or a directory containing one, cannot be deleted or moved (`Bad_InvalidState`). - The check is atomic with opens. - While a Delete or Move runs, read opens get `Bad_NotReadable` and write opens `Bad_InvalidState`. - **Open:** - Reserved mode bits or EraseExisting without Write return `Bad_InvalidArgument`. - Read+Write returns `Bad_NotSupported`. - Read while a writer is open returns `Bad_NotReadable`. - **Client `FileSystemErrors`:** maps `Bad_NotReadable` to `IOException`. - **RuntimeNodeSet:** well-formed NodeSets with a stray `Model` element, or two models in one file where one requires the other, now load. ### Server core, hosting and lifecycle - **`SessionEstablishmentQueueLimit` > 0:** CreateSession/ActivateSession now queue for a permit. The permit is acquired before the request is registered, and a waiting handshake releases its worker through the request-parking policy. - **Node manager lifecycle:** - Add, reload and remove no longer wait for parked Publish requests. - A Migrate reload racing with CreateMonitoredItems no longer blocks later lifecycle operations. - Late items on retired or removed managers get `Bad_NodeIdUnknown`. - **HistoryUpdate:** a batch mixing data and event details is bounded by both limits. - **Server stop/start:** stopping the server disposes the configuration watcher and certificate subscription; starting recreates them. - **Monitored-item queue factory:** a factory supplied by the caller or the DI container is no longer disposed by the server. - **Audit events:** each certificate validation error raises its own AuditCertificate event. A failed OpenSecureChannel without a service result is audited as failed. ## New public API (additive) - `IQueuedSessionEstablishmentLimiter` - `StandardServer.OwnsMonitoredItemQueueFactory` (protected virtual) - `DefaultPkiRoot.Get` (Opc.Ua.Configuration) - `TrustList.SetCertificateValidation` - `NamespaceMetadataRegistry.Invalidate` - `IApplicationConfigurationFileTargetProvider` and `ApplicationConfigurationUpdatePlan` - `GdsServerOptions.CertificateGroups` / `GdsCertificateGroupOptions` - `InMemoryKeyCredentialRequestStore.AuthorizeRoles` - `DefaultManagedApplicationsNodeManager.ManagedApplicationsNamespaceUri` - `AuthorizationServiceManager.RequestAccessTokenAsync(..., IUserIdentity?, ...)` - `AllowAnonymousWrite` on the file-system node manager and its factory - `IFileSystemHost.TryBeginMutation` / `EndMutation`, replacing `HasOpenHandles` ## Not fixed / known limitations - **KeyCredential:** secret encryption with the client's PublicKey (requests needing it are rejected). - **CSR SAN restriction:** restricting subject / SAN values copied from a CSR (CA policy). - **Ticket signatures:** ticket signature verification (needs a trusted-signer configuration). - **FileType Read+Write open:** needs a read/write stream contract in `IFileSystemProvider`. - **Custom `IUserDatabase` implementations:** the disabled-user check still scans all users per login. The built-in stores do a single lookup. - **64-bit Delta precision:** limited by the calculator's double arithmetic. ## Tests with changed expectations Existing tests were updated where they asserted the old behaviour: - File-system status codes - Trust-list handle eviction - `DiscardedMessageCount` - Localized diagnostics bits - Delta on unsigned sources - SourceNode of fluent alarms - ReferenceServer transfer permission test (now expects `Bad_UserAccessDenied` notifications) - `UserDeactivationShutdownReviewTests` (the revoked session is a UserName login) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OPC Foundation UA .NET Standard Reference Server
Additional samples

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 Standard 2.1 or .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.
