Hello mootez_bh,

What type of OPC UA server are you using? Typically, when we see that error message, we like to perform a Wireshark capture to confirm that the issue is coming from the Uri being mismatched.

You could try regenerating the certificates on both the server and client. Then redo the OPC UA connection.

You also have the open a support ticket with us so that a Support Engineer can help you troubleshoot this further. https://inductiveautomation.com/support/home/

I found some other forums posts that might be helpful where one of our devs discusses this error message in more depth.

Sorry this screenshot doesn’t help. Can you get a Wireshark recording of Ignition connecting to this server? edit: and actually, can you get the rest of the logs? And navigate to the Status section of the gateway and find this OPC connection and check the fault reason and stack trace? In 7.9 this application URI message should only be a warning and not what is preventing you from connecting.
