Hello,

When connecting Ignition to the newest version of KepServerEX, what was a previously a working OPC-UA connection is now faulted with the following error code:

UaException: status=Bad\_RequestTypeInvalid, message=The security token request type is not valid.

I tried editing/saving my connection to Kepware, as well as rebooting my VM that I’m working on, neither worked so I’m looking for other solutions. Would appreciate any advice, thanks!
