#### 4.3.1 Activating/Deactivating protocol personalities

Protocol activation is controlled by PolyORB's configuration file.

The section `[access_points]` controls the initialization of access points. An access point is a node entry point that may serve incoming requests.

         [access_points]
         soap=enable
         iiop=enable
         diop=disable
         uipmc=disable

This example activates SOAP and IIOP, but deactivates DIOP and MIOP.

The section `[modules]` controls the activation/deactivation of some modules within PolyORB. It is used to enable bindings to remote entities.

         [modules]
         binding_data.soap=enable
         binding_data.iiop=enable
         binding_data.diop=disable
         binding_data.uipmc=disable

This example enables the creation of bindings to remote objects using SOAP or IIOP. Objects cannot be reached using DIOP or UIPMC.

Note: by default, all configured personalities are activated.
