If conflicts occur between the established security mechanisms and the new options of name or address conversion resulting from the use of DNS, the internal system security mechanisms always have priority.
BCAM offers two methods of allowing communication relationships between partners:
Communication relationships are possible to any partners, even if they are not known to the BCAM transport system.
In this case, using the addresses determined by the DNS cannot cause conflicts with the BCAM transport system security mechanisms, since these are explicitly disabled.
Communication relationships are only possible to partners known to the BCAM transport system.
In this case, the following situation could occur:
An application may receive the address of a partner system from the DNS, but may still be unable to set up a connection to it, since this partner system is not known to the BCAM transport system, and communication is not permitted for security reasons.
If required, a remedy is provided in this situation with the transport system enhancement BCAM-DNS-ACCESS which was introduced with openNet Server V3.1.
