Manufacturing Connect Edge OPC UA supports many different options for managing security policies and user authentication.

The OPC UA *Management *pane includes the following sections:

- **OPC UA Management**: Allows you to start, reset, stop, and configure the server. The OPC UA server is color-coded. A started server displays a green OK. A stopped server displays a red Stopped. Configure allows you to set the host, port, and allow nodes under root. 
  - If you are using the Docker version of Manufacturing Connect Edge and having issues connecting to the OPC UA server, refer to [Issues Connecting to OPC UA Server](docId\:U9RFo1m1gZCvPoa5ySw3Q). 
- **Policy Management**: Allows you to enable different encryption algorithms and security modes for the OPC UA server. 
- **Authentication Management**: Allows you to enable multiple identity types and choose security policies. 
- **User Management**: Allows you to view current OPC UA users.
