8 Appendix C: RPC Extensions Conformance to [C706] Requirements
The following table documents the conformance of RPC extensions to the [C706] specification against the list of conformance requirements specified in [C706] section 1.3, except for any portion that relates to name services. The Windows implementation of name services is detailed in Remote Procedure Call Location Services Protocol [MS-RPCL] (This is a legacy protocol that has been deprecated). In cases where these extensions do not conform to [C706], specific section references are provided only where the conformance failure is specified explicitly by an individual section. Conformance failures specified across numerous sections are not accompanied by lists of those sections.

|
Implementations support the service semantics specified in chapter 7. |

Conforms except where noted in this specification in sections 2.2.4 through 2.2.7, 3.1.1.5, 3.1.2.5.1, 3.1.2.7.1, and 3.1.3.5. |
|
Implementations support the syntax, semantics, and encoding for UUIDs, as specified in appendix A. |
Conforms except where noted in this specification in section 2.2.1.1.3. |

Extensions to name services are documented in [MS-RPCL]. |
|
Implementations support the naming and semantics for security parameters, as specified in appendix D. |
Remote Procedure Call extensions does not implement the authentication scheme specified in Appendix D of [C706]. Remote Procedure Call extensions security and authentication is specified in section 5, with additional security provider details in section 2.2.1.1.7 and modifications to rpc_c_authn_dce_secret in section 3.2.1.5.1. |
|
Implementations support the naming and encodings for comm_status and fault_status, as specified in appendix E. |
Conformant with respect to status codes sent between network nodes, but not conformant with respect to status codes returned to the higher-layer protocol. The status codes returned to the higher-layer protocol are specified in section 3.1.1.5.5. |
|
Implementations support the mapping from IDL types to NDR types, and from NDR types to defined International Organization for Standardization (ISO) C types, as specified in appendix F. |
Conforms IDL to NDR mappings conform with [C706] except where noted in section 2.2.4.1, where Remote Procedure Call extensions extends the specification with new types. |
|
Implementations support the portable character set, as specified in appendix G. |
Conforms. |
|
Implementations use the endpoint mapper ports, as specified in appendix H, for the corresponding protocols. |
Conforms for TCP/IP and UPD transports (NCACN_IP_TCP and NCADG_IP_UDP). Other transports use other ports as specified in section 2.1. |
|
Implementations adhere to the rules for protocol identifier assignment, as specified in appendix I. |
Not conformant, as specified in this specification in section 2.1. |
|
Implementations adhere to the mappings for directory service attributes, as specified in the DCE: Directory Services specification. |
Remote Procedure Call extensions is not an implementation or extension of DCE: Directory Services. |
|
Implementations provide defaults for the protocol machine values specified in appendix K. |
This specification redefines the protocol state machines that are specified in [C706], in sections 3.2.1.1.1, 3.2.2.1, 3.2.3.1, 3.3.2, and 3.3.3. Some specific values from appendix K are used in this specification where noted. |
|
