Troubleshooting

If you get errors related to certificates when starting opc-gateway or running the tests, there is likely a conflict between the version of openssl on your machine and what is required by the node-opcua version used by opc-gateway. The specifics for fixing this will depend on the setup of your machine, but this would be a good starting point.
