For more information, take a look at KepServer's documentation. Alternatively, individual Kepware Projects can allow anonymous login. This typically means you need to specify user credentials for Ignition to use in the OPC-UA server connection. When connecting to KepServer, some versions may not allow anonymous connections by default. Both the Backup Discovery URL and Backup Endpoint URL properties need to be configured.įor additional information on Failover, refer to OPC-UA Connections and Settings. The Backup properties should be used when a pair of redundant Ignition Gateways are trying to look at the same Kepware OPC-UA server. To enable failover, check the box to Show advanced properties in the New OPCUA Connection Settings, set the Failover Enabled property to 'true,' and specify the Failover Endpoint. The failover Kepware OPC-UA server will be used in the event the primary Kepware server goes down.
The failover Kepware OPC-UA server works the same as the OPC-UA server with the exception that you need to have two copies of Kepware setup, preferably on different servers. Now the OPC Server Connections page shows the Status of Kepware to be Connected.

A list of available Security Policies and Message Security options will appear. Once an endpoint has been entered, click the Discover button. #If KepServer is installed on a different server from Ignition, then the IP address would be used: #If KepServer is installed on the same server as Ignition and uses the default port,
