DCE
Advice: The recommended authorization server is DCE. This ensures that the
most complete identity information about the client is sent to the server. If None
is used, anyone is authorized to call the HPSS components. This means you are in
a trusted environment. If the Authentication Service value is None, the only
acceptable Authorization Service value is None. If the Authentication Service
value is Secret, the Authorization Service value can be Name or DCE. Refer to
the description of the DCE Authorization Services included in the
rpc_binding_set_auth_info call in the OSF/DCE Application Development
Reference Manual.

the description of the DCE Authentication Services included in the
rpc_binding_set_auth_info call in the OSF/DCE Application Development
Reference Manual.

search scope for HPSS
principal names.
NULL or DCE security
registry directory.

to limit the search scope to an HPSS security registry directory.
