Using SRV Protocol

Clients under Windows OS support SRV client network protocol (format description is given in the Appendices document, p. Appendix E. The Specification of Network Addresses).

Accessing the Server via the SRV records are implemented by the following way:

1.During the Server installation, registration in Active Directory domain is set up, installer registers corresponding SRV record on DNS server.

SRV record is registered on DNS server according to the RFC2782 (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782).

2.In a request for connecting the Server, client specifies access via the srv protocol.

For example, launch the Agent installer:

•with explicit specification of a service name myservice:
drwinst /server "srv/myservice"

•without specification of a service name. At this, SRV record with the drwcs default name will be searched.
drwinst /server "srv/"

3.Transparently for the user, the client uses functional of SRV protocol to access to the Server.

If the Server is not specified directly, the drwcs is used by default as a name of the service.
