Question on launch/access permissions
-
I feel that this is such a stupid question, but I'll feel even more stupid if I don't ask it... Let's say I have a DCOM app on server machine 'S'. I have appropriate entries via DCOMCNFG on client 'C' so that it will (and does) run, and my client can instantiate an object on the server, and call it's methods. For XPSP2 there are two sets of permissions; Access Local Access Remote Access Launch/Activation Local Launch Remote Launch Local Activation Remote Activation Now, my questions are: How does Launch differ from Activation? Which machine(s) do the permissions need to be set on? In other words, if I have set security to deny access on the server, do I need to set security on the client as well, in order to allow the client 'out'? My better question is 'Where can I get more information on DCOM security that is up to date?', I think! Thanks in advance for any information/help. Steve S Developer for hire
