5.2.2.6 How does OrbixSecurity work and how and what component of DCE needs to be installed?

 
 

George Wolke
(July, 1998): We were told that we needed to purchase and install DCE software (only Gradient Technology's solution is currently supported for NT and I don't know what is required for HP) BEFORE we could install the Orbix code. The DCE code is about 3K for the server side and $100 for each client.

Also, OrbixSecurity uses OrbixFilters. This is a potential problem if you use filters in your system since you cannot define the location of the security related filters within your filter chain.
