How to prevent certificate errors in the included OPC-UA simulator

In order to avoid certificate errors in OPC-UA clients, it is necessary to add the following to the config file due to the OPC-UA protocol.

Instructions

  1. Go into OpenLens and navigate to config→configMaps and open the Opcua-simulator config file.
  2. Add under “Hosts” your hostname and add “Host” with your hostname (like shown in the picture below). Copy it and pass it through a JSON-Validator to see if it is still a valid JSON. Then click “save”, go to pods and delete the opcua-simulator-pod to restart it.
