3 Protocol Details

With the exception of the DUMPALLMAPSXXX_PROC procedures, requests sent by the User Name Mapping Protocol client generate a single response from the User Name Mapping Protocol server. There is no predetermined sequencing.

The DUMPALLMAPSXXX_PROC procedures are used to enumerate some, or all the mapping records held by the User Name Mapping Protocol server. All the DUMPALLMAPSXXX_PROC procedures follow the same sequencing rules, as defined in the following sections. The sequence can be restricted to a single request-response pair, or it can extend over many request-response pairs, depending on the number of maps available on the User Name Mapping Protocol server and the requirements of the User Name Mapping Protocol client.

Each enumeration sequence is independent of other individual requests or enumeration sequences between the User Name Mapping Protocol client and server. Therefore, multiple enumerations (from the same or different clients) for user map and group map can proceed in parallel without any interference.
