The .NETstandard OPC-UA server now rejects the weak Sha1-signed certificates. However, my newly minted Sha2-signature seems to be interpreted as a Sha1-signed signature and gets rejected as a consequence. 

I generated a Sha2-signed key and self-signed certificated by this means:

openssl req -x509 -config ssl.cnf -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -new -nodes -days 365 -keyout id_rsa_opcua_client_private_key.pem -outform DER -out id_rsa_opcua_client_cert.der
openssl x509 -in id_rsa_opcua_client_cert.der -inform DER -text -noout

When connecting to the .NETstandard console server, the logged response is this

And the final client-side check of the certificate, the fingerprint matches the one reported by the server (ae41b8b60167d4daf809e3629ae782711a5fb3c0)

Finally, I run the UA-.NETStandard master branch 50c9a677350b378cb5b84584dc3df9642c2541cc from march 22, 2019.

ActivateSession requires that the Client compute a signature for the nonce provided by the Server. The algorithm URI (http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1) is supplied with the signature. It looks like this issue is caused by your client putting the wrong URI in the algorithm bucket or using SHA1 to compute the signature on the nonce when it should be using SHA256.

Thanks for this answer. It worked out that the client indeed presents a bug as reported here.
