    \title Creating OPC UA Clients with security support
    \brief Instructions how to create OPC UA Clients with security support

    One of the core features of OPC UA is the support for security,
    which means we get cryptographically encrypted and signed protocol,
    user authentication and authorization support.

    To make this work, each application instances (installation of a program)
    needs to have its own \c {Application Instance Certificate} and the according private key.

    The applications can either generate self-signed certificates on their own, get some from a
    certificate authority using OPC UA GDS, or simply can be configured with certificates which
    haven been created manually by the user.

    Because at the moment Qt OPC UA does not support certificate generation or GDS,
    this tutorial describes how to generate a self-signed OPC UA certificate on the command line
    using OpenSSL.

    \section2 Create a new Application Certificate

    To be able to generate a correct x509v3 certificate with all required extensions for OPC UA,
    we need to setup a configuration file with all the necessary information first.

    Remember to change \c subject and \c subjectAltName to match your case.

    It is important to insert the \c ApplicationURI of the application into the \c URI field of \c subjectAltName,
    and that the hostname of your PC or device is inserted in the \c DNS fields of \c subjectAltName.
    Alternatively, you can use \c IP field if your device does not support host names and you are working
    with static IPs.
    Future versions of Qt OPC UA will be able to generate the certificate for you with correct information.
    For now, you can create one using the OpenSSL command line tool.

    Example: \c opcuaviewer.config
    \code
    [ req ]
    default_bits = 2048
    default_md = sha256
    distinguished_name = subject
    req_extensions = req_ext
    x509_extensions = req_ext
    string_mask = utf8only
    prompt = no

    [ req_ext ]
    basicConstraints = critical, CA:FALSE
    keyUsage = critical, nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
    extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth
    subjectAltName = URI:urn:foo.com:The%20Qt%20Company:QtOpcUaViewer,DNS:foo.com
    subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
    authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always

    [ subject ]
    countryName = DE
    stateOrProvinceName = Berlin
    localityName = Berlin
    organizationName = The Qt Company
    commonName = QtOpcUaViewer
    \endcode

    Using this configuration file, OpenSSL is able to create a matching certificate for local use.

    \code
        # create a self-signed certificate and private key
        openssl req -new -x509  -config opcuaviewer.config -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout opcuaviewer.key -nodes -outform der -out opcuaviewer.der
        # install the certificate and key into the application PKI directory
        mv opcuaviewer.der /path/to/application/pki/own/certs/opcuaviewer.der
        mv opcuaviewer.key /path/to/application/pki/own/private/opcuaviewer.pem
        # secure private key file permissions
        chmod 600 /path/to/application/pki/own/private/opcuaviewer.pem
    \endcode

    It is important to secure the file permission of the private key, so that only the UA application can read it.
    For services (daemons), it is recommended to create dedicated unprivileged users accounts for this and make this
    user the owner of the key. For interactive applications, this key should be individual to the user.
    For interactive applications, it is also possible to password protect the key. In this case, the user needs to enter
    the password every time the application is started and loading the key.
    For this reason, password protected keys are not a good solution for unattended applications, because this would
    required to store the password in a configuration file.

    You can dump the certificate data using OpenSSL to inspect the contents of the certificate:

    \code
        openssl x509 -in opcuaviewer.der -text -noout

    \endcode

    \section2 Configuring the UA Application

    To make security working with the certificate created in the previous step, it is important to

    \list
        \li Configure the correct Application Identity
          \snippet ../../examples/opcua/opcuaviewer/mainwindow.cpp Application Identity
        \li Configure PKI locations so that the SDK can find the certificate, private key, trust list etc.

          See for instance the code from the \l{Qt OPC UA Viewer Example}:
          \snippet ../../examples/opcua/opcuaviewer/mainwindow.cpp PKI Configuration

          In the example, we extract pre-configured own and trusted certificates
          from the Qt resource system to a writable location in the file system.
          The remaining directories for issuer (revocation) lists are created
          manually.
    \endlist

    \section2 PKI Folder Layout

    Qt OPC UA uses the following folder layout:

    \table
    \header
        \li Folder
        \li Description
    \row
        \li own
        \li Location to store the application's own certificates.
    \row
        \li trusted
        \li A list of trusted application certificates or trusted CA certificates.
    \row
        \li issuer
        \li A list of certificates for CAs which are not trusted but are needed to
        check signatures on certificates.
    \row
        \li rejected
        \li Here the application stores rejected certificates, so that they can later on be trusted by an Administrator.
        It is important to have a configured maximum number of files here. If this is reached, the oldest
        file should be deleted first. Without a limit, an attacker could fill the machine's hard disk with
        invalid connection attempts.
    \endtable

    Each of the folders \c own, \c trusted, and \c issuers contain the subdirectory structure defined by the following table.

    \table
    \header
        \li Subdirectory
        \li Description
    \row
        \li certs
        \li Contains the DER encoded X.509 v3 certificates. The files shall have a .der file extension.
    \row
        \li private
        \li Contains the private keys. The format of the file may be backend specific.
        PEM encoded files should have a .pem extension. PKCS#12 encoded files should have a .pfx extension.
        The root file name shall be the same as the corresponding public key file in the certs directory.
        This folder only exists inside the \c own folder.
    \row
        \li crl
        \li Contains the DER encoded CRL for any CA certificates found in the certs directories.
        The files shall have a .crl file extension.
    \endtable

    \section2 First connection

    When connecting for the first time, the client needs to trust the server certificate.

    The client should display a certificate warning (with cert details) and offer the possibility to save the certificate in its trust list.
    For an example, see \l{Qt OPC UA Viewer Example}.

    When the client has accepted the server certificate, you can try to connect again. Now the server may reject the client's certificate.
    This is indicated by the generic error code \c BadSecurityChecksFailed. Server normally store rejected certificates in a special \c rejected folder.
    Administrator can move these into the trust list to trust clients. This avoids manually copying the client certificate to the server machine.

    As soon as the server has trusted the client, you should be able to connect with security.
