Client applications running on any IBM or non-IBM DCE platform are able to
run remote procedure calls to a TPF server. All DCE services are
available to client applications; however, the TPF 4.1 system
supports only a subset of the DCE RPC services. The following are
elements of a traditional DCE RPC environment that can be used with the TPF
implementation:
- Server support only (no client support)
- Unauthenticated RPC only (no DCE security service or Kerberos provided)
- An offline process to load TPF server information into a directory server
(no directory service application programming interfaces (APIs))
- Preassigned server port numbers (no dynamic server port assignment at run
time). Client applications must obtain full binding information about
the TPF server.
