3.2.5 Initialization

The protocol uses the transport and endpoints as described in section 2.1.

The initialization steps for the RDG server are as follows: The RDG server MUST register for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) local host addresses 127.0.0.1 and ::1 as the network address when operating in a non-load balanced environment. The RDG server MUST register for RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_NEGOTIATE and SHOULD register for RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_SCHANNEL as authentication services, as specified in [MS-RPCE] section 2.2.1.1.7. The RDG client MUST use a minimum authentication level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT_INTEGRITY (see [MS-RPCE] section 2.2.1.1.8) and MUST use one of the following authentication services: RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_NEGOTIATE or RPC_C_AUTHN_GSS_SCHANNEL, or RPC_C_AUTHN_WINNT.<32>

All timers are connection-specific timers, and MUST not be started on initialization.
