Hey Matthias,
for sure I can describe my use case.
In my case I want to write data from a middleware into the OPC UA Server
running on my machine.
Reading with PLC4X workes just fine. As a non maven user (just yet) I
needed the following JARs:
plc4j-driver-opcua-0.6.0.jar
netty-channel-fsm-0.4.jar
strict-machine-0.3.jar
slf4j-api-1.7.25.jar
plc4j-api-0.6.0.jar
commons-lang3-3.7.jar
plc4j-protocol-driver-base-0.6.0.jar
netty-all-4.1.43.Final.jar
slf4j-simple-1.7.26.jar
sdk-client-0.3.6.jar
stack-client-0.3.6.jar
stack-core-0.3.6.jar
bsd-parser-core-0.3.6.jar
jaxb-api-2.3.1.jar
As a OPC Server I used the Prosys OPC Simulation Server. As a client to
check values and so on I used UaExpert.
The thing is that I get an ACCESS_DENIED error when I try to write values
even though my AccessLevel and UserAccessLevel are CurrentRead,
CurrentWrite.
When I’m using a freeopcua Client runnning on Python the writing of the
values works just fine. Any idea why?
Thanks for your help.
