## Description

* * *

The endpoint validation happening during the connection to an OPC UA server can now optionally be disabled. This can be done in the gateway configuration by changing the `gateway.connectivity.validateDiscoveredEndpoints` setting to “false”. Alternatively, it can be controlled via the OPC UA server managed object by setting the fragment `validateDiscoveredEndpoints` to “false”. For details, refer to [OPC UA](https://community.cumulocity.com/device-integration/opcua/).
