- Jonathan Biggar
- (July, 1998) : Not necessarily. I believe that a server is
allowed to signal to the client that a context is no longer valid, which means
the client must reestablish a new context. Also, it is possible for a single
server to manage objects in different security domains that may require more
than one context be established to the server from a single client.
- Nick Battle
- (July, 1998) : The context is certainly long lived (more than one
invocation) - this is a matter of efficiency, since session key establishment
is typically very expensive. The context can be destroyed by either peer (eg.
by deleting the object or its object reference) or it can timeout. The lifetime
is a matter of policy (and cannot be increased by the peers). Contexts may also
be destroyed as part of handling a SECIOP protocol error.
