Remarks

A named pipe is created when a PipeServer object is created by using the PipeServer.new method. The pipe is created with read access and in message mode. The name of the pipe is automatically prefixed with \\.\pipe\Dynamics. The current session SID is postfixed to the name.

The support provided for pipe connections on the server is restricted for the following security reasons:

• The pipe is supported only for the current logon session on the computer that the session was created on.

• The user who creates the pipe is the only person who can communicate with that pipe.
