3.3.2.4 Higher-Layer Triggered Events

  • Article

A higher-level protocol or application can make a call to look up information from a name service entry. The call can do the following:

  • Look up server, group, or profile entries by specifying a specific entry name and enumerate the properties of any matching entries. These are processed as specified in section 3.3.2.4.1.

  • Look up binding information for server entries. These lookups do not necessarily specify an entry name, but MAY contain optional criteria that specify the interface identifier and its transfer syntax, object UUID, or entry_name, as supported by the implementation. These are processed as specified in section 3.3.2.4.2.

The client locator looks up Active Directory for the name service entries specified in the lookup request in the context of the security principal who originated the call into the RPC name service. The enumerated matching objects are returned to the higher-layer protocol or application. Query processing is specified in the following sections.
