Implementing the Remote Routines

The following code fragments show in skeletal form how an application's remote serviceability routines should be implemented. The pseudo-code references to "access tests" are calls to the application's ACL manager to assess the caller's authorization. For information on implementing an ACL manager, see the security topics of the OSF DCE Application Development Guide - Introduction and Style Guide and the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components.
