Active Directory compatibility. LdapOptions xml-doc expanded with a cheat-sheet covering Server (DC FQDN), Port 389 vs 636, UseTls=true under AD LDAP-signing enforcement, dedicated read-only service account DN, sAMAccountName vs userPrincipalName vs cn trade-offs, memberOf DN shape (CN=Group,OU=...,DC=... with the CN= RDN stripped to become the GroupToRole key), and the explicit 'nested groups NOT expanded' call-out (LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN / tokenGroups is a future authenticator enhancement, not a config change). docs/security.md §'Active Directory configuration' adds a complete appsettings.json snippet with realistic AD group names (OPCUA-Operators → WriteOperate, OPCUA-Engineers → WriteConfigure, OPCUA-AlarmAck → AlarmAck, OPCUA-Tuners → WriteTune), LDAPS port 636, TLS on, insecure-LDAP off, and operator-facing notes on each field. LdapUserAuthenticatorAdCompatTests (5 unit guards): ExtractFirstRdnValue parses AD-style 'CN=OPCUA-Operators,OU=...,DC=...' DNs correctly (case-preserving — operators' GroupToRole keys stay readable); also handles mixed case and spaces in group names ('Domain Users'); also works against the OpenLDAP ou=<group>,ou=groups shape (GLAuth) so one extractor tolerates both memberOf formats common in the field; EscapeLdapFilter escapes the RFC 4515 injection set (\, *, (, ), \0) so a malicious login like 'admin)(cn=*' can't break out of the filter; default UserNameAttribute regression guard.
Test posture — Server.Tests Unit: 43 pass / 0 fail (38 prior + 5 new AD-compat guards). Server.Tests LiveLdap category: 6 pass / 0 fail against running GLAuth (would skip cleanly without). Server build clean, 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Deferred: the session-identity end-to-end check (drive a full OPC UA UserName session, then read a 'whoami' node to verify the role landed on RoleBasedIdentity). That needs a test-only address-space node and is scoped for a separate PR.

LMX Galaxy bridge — remaining follow-ups
State after PR 19: the Galaxy driver is functionally at v1 parity through the
IDriver abstraction; the OPC UA server runs with LDAP-authenticated
Basic256Sha256 endpoints and alarms are observable through
AlarmConditionState.ReportEvent. The items below are what remains LMX-
specific before the stack can fully replace the v1 deployment, in
rough priority order.
1. Proxy-side IHistoryProvider for ReadAtTime / ReadEvents
Status: Host-side IPC shipped (PR 10 + PR 11). Proxy consumer not written.
PR 10 added HistoryReadAtTimeRequest/Response on the IPC wire and
MxAccessGalaxyBackend.HistoryReadAtTimeAsync delegates to
HistorianDataSource.ReadAtTimeAsync. PR 11 did the same for events
(HistoryReadEventsRequest/Response + GalaxyHistoricalEvent). The Proxy
side (GalaxyProxyDriver) doesn't call those yet — Core.Abstractions.IHistoryProvider
only exposes ReadRawAsync + ReadProcessedAsync.
To do:
- Extend
IHistoryProviderwithReadAtTimeAsync(string, DateTime[], …)andReadEventsAsync(string?, DateTime, DateTime, int, …). GalaxyProxyDrivercalls the new IPC message kinds.DriverNodeManagerwires the new capability methods ontoHistoryReadAtTime+Eventsservice handlers.- Integration test: OPC UA client calls
HistoryReadAtTime/HistoryReadEvents, value flows through IPC to the Host'sHistorianDataSource, back to the client.
2. Write-gating by role — DONE (PR 26)
Landed in PR 26. WriteAuthzPolicy in Server/Security/ maps
SecurityClassification → required role (FreeAccess → no role required,
Operate/SecuredWrite → WriteOperate, Tune → WriteTune,
Configure/VerifiedWrite → WriteConfigure, ViewOnly → deny regardless).
DriverNodeManager caches the classification per variable during discovery and
checks the session's roles (via IRoleBearer) in OnWriteValue before calling
IWritable.WriteAsync. Roles do not cascade — a session with WriteOperate
can't write a Tune attribute unless it also carries WriteTune.
See feedback_acl_at_server_layer.md in memory for the architectural directive
that authz stays at the server layer and never delegates to driver-specific auth.
3. Admin UI client-cert trust management — DONE (PR 28)
PR 28 shipped /certificates in the Admin UI. CertTrustService reads the OPC
UA server's PKI store root (OpcUaServerOptions.PkiStoreRoot — default
%ProgramData%\OtOpcUa\pki) and lists rejected + trusted certs by parsing the
.der files directly, so it has no Opc.Ua dependency and runs on any
Admin host that can reach the shared PKI directory.
Operator actions: Trust (moves rejected/certs/*.der → trusted/certs/*.der),
Delete rejected, Revoke trust. The OPC UA stack re-reads the trusted store on
each new client handshake, so no explicit reload signal is needed —
operators retry the rejected client's connection after trusting.
Deferred: flipping AutoAcceptUntrustedClientCertificates to false as the
deployment default. That's a production-hardening config change, not a code
gap — the Admin UI is now ready to be the trust gate.
4. Live-LDAP integration test — DONE (PR 31)
PR 31 shipped Server.Tests/LdapUserAuthenticatorLiveTests.cs — 6 live-bind
tests against the dev GLAuth instance at localhost:3893, skipped cleanly
when the port is unreachable. Covers: valid bind, wrong password, unknown
user, empty credentials, single-group → WriteOperate mapping, multi-group
admin user surfacing all mapped roles.
Also added UserNameAttribute to LdapOptions (default uid for RFC 2307
compat) so Active Directory deployments can configure sAMAccountName /
userPrincipalName without code changes. LdapUserAuthenticatorAdCompatTests
(5 unit guards) pins the AD-shape DN parsing + filter escape behaviors. See
docs/security.md §"Active Directory configuration" for the AD appsettings
snippet.
Deferred: asserting session.Identity end-to-end on the server side (i.e.
drive a full OPC UA session with username/password, then read an
IHostConnectivityProbe-style "whoami" node to verify the role surfaced).
That needs a test-only address-space node and is a separate PR.
5. Full Galaxy live-service smoke test against the merged v2 stack
Status: Individual pieces have live smoke tests (PR 5 MXAccess, PR 13
probe manager, PR 14 alarm tracker), but the full loop — OPC UA client →
OtOpcUaServer → GalaxyProxyDriver (in-process) → named-pipe to
Galaxy.Host subprocess → live MXAccess runtime → real Galaxy objects — has
no single end-to-end smoke test.
To do:
- Test that spawns the full topology, discovers a deployed Galaxy object, subscribes to one of its attributes, writes a value back, and asserts the write round-tripped through MXAccess. Skip when ArchestrA isn't running.
6. Second driver instance on the same server
Status: DriverHost.RegisterAsync supports multiple drivers; the OPC UA
server creates one DriverNodeManager per driver and isolates their
subtrees under distinct namespace URIs. Not proven with two active
GalaxyProxyDriver instances pointing at different Galaxies.
To do:
- Integration test that registers two driver instances, each with a distinct
DriverInstanceId+ endpoint in its own session, asserts nodes from both appear under the correct subtrees, alarm events land on the correct instance's condition nodes.
7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard
Status: PR 13 ships per-platform/per-AppEngine ScanState probing; PR 17
surfaces the resulting OnHostStatusChanged events through OPC UA. Admin
UI doesn't render a per-host dashboard yet.
To do:
- SignalR hub push of
HostStatusChangedEventArgsto the Admin UI. - Dashboard page showing each tracked host, current state, last transition time, failure count.
