- describe the gateway protocol to the DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS):

- README.TXT This readme file
- NSICLT.IDL[ACF] Client-side interface
- NSISVR.IDL[ACF] Server-side interface
- NSICOM.IDL[ACF] Interface common to client and server
- NSIMGM.IDL[ACF] Interface for management
-
- The OSF DCE environment uses the DCE Cell Directory Service
- (CDS) for its RPC name service. However, the OSF has not yet
- released a specification of the protocol used to access the
- CDS. To allow interoperation between DCE computers and RPC
- client applications that call RPC name service API
- functions, you must use a gateway to the DCE CDS.
-
- To help you develop such a gateway, Microsoft defines an
- interface for a gateway protocol in the files NSICLT.IDL,
- NSSVR.IDL, and NSICOM.IDL, and provides the client-side
- implementation of this gateway protocol in RPCNS.DLL. One
- such implementation of the server side gateway is currently
- available in the Digital Equipment Corporation DCE Starter
- Kit.
-
- To use the gateway so that your RPC application can
- interoperate with DCE RPC applications:
-
- 1. Verify that the gateway is started on the DCE host
-
- 2. Verify that the client is running the TCP/IP transport
-
- 3. (Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95 only) Set the registry entry
- Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\ServerNetworkAddress to a
- string of the form "<ip address of gateway 1>; <ip address
- of gateway 2>...", where <ip address of gateway n> is the ip
- address of the nth gateway in the list.
-
- 4. Set the following registry entries under Software\
- Microsoft\Rpc\NameService to the following values:
-
- Entry Value
-
- Protocol ncacn_ip_tcp
- NetworkAddress <ip addr gateway 1>; <ip addr gateway 2>...
- Endpoint <empty string>
-
- To change registry entry settings on Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 95,
- use the REGEDIT utility. On MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows,
- edit the text file RPCREG.DAT.
