Communications Bridge Security

The Comm. Bridge transmits the Common Format Buffer (CFB) that it receives from the DPC on to the DPS without performing any security validation of its own. However, the Comm. Bridge does parse the CFB to extract security data (UserID and Password) when processing a cooperative flow. The Comm. Bridge sets up the same interface to each of its server transports. The passing of security data to the communications runtime is done regardless of type of server side transport.
