setSecurityModel

Set security configuration parameters for OPC UA client

Since R2020a

Description

example

setSecurityModel(UaClient,'Best') sets both the MessageSecurityMode and ChannelSecurityPolicy properties of the OPC UA client UaClient to the best possible security configuration available for the server. The client attempts to retrieve available endpoints from the server if those are not yet retrieved.

setSecurityModel(UaClient,MessageMode,ChannelPolicy) sets the MessageSecurityMode and ChannelSecurityPolicy properties of OPC UA client UaClient to the specified MessageMode and ChannelPolicy, respectively. If a matching endpoint cannot be found in the list of known endpoints, an error occurs.
