2.1 Transport

The RPC methods that the CIFS Browser Auxiliary Protocol uses are available on one endpoint:

• "\pipe\browser" named pipe (RPC protseqs ncacn_np), as specified in [MS-RPCE] section 2.1.1.2.

The CIFS Browser Auxiliary Protocol endpoint is available only over named pipes. For more information about named pipes, see [PIPE].

This protocol MUST use the universally unique identifier (UUID) as specified in section 1.9. The RPC version number is 0.0.

This protocol allows any user to establish a connection to the RPC server. The protocol uses the underlying RPC protocol to retrieve the identity of the caller that made the method call, as described in section 3.3.3.4.3 of [MS-RPCE]. The server SHOULD use this identity to perform method specific access checks as described in section 3.1.4.
