| 1 | The Implementation ID (IID) |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | These are strings that uniquely identify an implementation. The only |
|---|
| 4 | restrictions on these are that they be ASCII, begin with "OAFIID:", |
|---|
| 5 | and not contain the comma (','), square bracket ('[]'), or forward |
|---|
| 6 | slash ('/') characters. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | If you are really at a loss on how to create these, here is a suggested format: |
|---|
| 9 | OAFIID:program_name:UUID |
|---|
| 10 | (where UUID is a uuid as generated by uuidgen). |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | The only absolute requirement about these is that they uniquely |
|---|
| 13 | identify an implementation. Human readability is a "would be very |
|---|
| 14 | nice" goal. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | The Activation ID (AID) |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | These are strings that tell how to bootstrap a specific object |
|---|
| 19 | instance. This means that environmental information such as hostname, |
|---|
| 20 | user, etc. They have the following format: |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | OAFAID:[IID,user,host,domain] |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | IID format has been described above. 'user' is the login |
|---|
| 25 | username. 'host' is a DNS domain name or stringified IP |
|---|
| 26 | address. 'domain' is a string describing what use area the object has |
|---|
| 27 | - normally this will be 'user' (XXX not clearly defined yet). |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Manual creation of AIDs is unsupported - instead, just store and use |
|---|
| 30 | the ones returned by the activate() operation. |
|---|
