Connecting to an known Endpoint without Discovery Service

Post by hyperdanny »

Hello,

I have created a tiny Java UA-Server, which I want to connect to with UA Expert.
Unfortunately this UA-Server doesn't register itself to any Discovery Server, but it's working properly.

Is there any way to connect to his server with UA Expert?
Everytime I try I get the following error messages:

Code: Select all

Any idea how to fix it?

Hello hyperdanny,
you can manually add a server in the UaExpert without using the discovery mechanism.
  • (1) Menu -> Server -> Add.. (or click on the plus button)
    (2) Change to the advanced tab
    (3) Enter the Endpoint Url of your server
    (4) Click Ok
    (5) Connect as usual
Best Regards
