Node-RED OPC UA Invalid Endpoint

Node-RED OPC UA Invalid Endpoint

I am recieving an "Invalid endpoint, check that server has security policy" error when attempting to connect to the ctrlX CORE OPC UA server via Node-RED client (node-red-contrib-opcua). I am not getting a rejected certificate in the OPC UA server either. I am able to connect to the server from UA Expert client.

Versions

  • Firmware 1.20
  • OPC UA Server 1.20
  • Node-RED 1.20
  • node-red-contrib-opcua 0.2.281 & 0.2.309 neither work

I verified the same process works with firmware 1.14, OPC UA server 1.14 and Node-RED 1.14 along with node-red-contrib-opcua 0.2.281.

This seems to be an incompatability with the node-opcua library used in node-red-contrib-opcua and our OPC UA Server. I am not getting any logs from the OPC UA Server.

We found 2 different topics for this 3rd party palette node-red-contrib-opcua:

  1. There is a problem in the client itself from version 0.2.310 on see this github issue.
  2. There is a problem in the nodejs base lib in versions 18.17.0 and also nodejs 20.04 see this github issue.

You can try to use ctrlX CORE Node-RED app in version 1.18 (including nodejs 16.18.1 ) in combination with node-red-contrib-opcua palette in version 0.2.309. Feel free to tell us if it works this way.

@CodeShepherd  @Sgilk i test for you tomorrow guyz 😉
