The OPCUA32 OPC UA client driver does not correctly encrypt the password causing the connection to fail

Summary

The OPCUA32 OPC UA client driver does not correctly format the password in the UserIdentityToken prior to encrypting the password field. As a result the OPC UA server on the opposite side cannot decrypt the password and the connection cannot be established.

Description

The OPCUA32 OPC UA client driver does not correctly format the password in the UserIdentityToken prior to encrypting the password field. As a result the OPC UA server on the opposite side cannot decrypt the password and the connection cannot be established.

Solution

An issue has been addressed in the OPCUA32 OPC UA client driver where the connection would fail if a username and password were provided and the server required Basic128Rsa15 encryption for the password.   When the server would require Basic256 encryption for the password, the server would be able to decrypt the password and the connection would work
