Security Features

Security in distributed computing environments, such as in client/server systems, is much more complicated than in traditional configurations. Although it is probably impossible to protect any computer system against the most determined and sophisticated intruder, the RPC Broker implements robust security that is transparent to the end user and without additional impact on IRM.

Security with the RPC Broker is a four-part process:

1. Client workstations must have a valid connection request
   
   
2. Users must have valid Access and Verify codes
   
   
3. Users must be valid users of a VISTA client/server application
   
   
4. Any remote procedure call must be registered and valid for the application being executed
