[cifs-protocol] [MS-RPCE] epm_Map object uuid ignored?

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

I would like some clarification about:

2.2.1.2.5 ept_map Method

The resulting method definition is specified as follows.

void ept_map(
	[in] handle_t hEpMapper,
	[in, ptr] UUID* obj,
	[in, ptr] twr_p_t map_tower,
	[in, out] ept_lookup_handle_t* entry_handle,
	[in, range(0,500)] unsigned long max_towers,
	[out] unsigned long* num_towers,
	[out, ptr, size_is(max_towers), length_is(*num_towers)]
	twr_p_t* ITowers,
	[out] error_status* status
);

obj: Optionally specifies an object UUID. A value of NULL indicates that no 
object UUID is specified.

{
	From our investigation, it looks like the obj is completely ignored in
	Windows and this is not documented. The OpenGroup implementation checks if
   it is a valid object id of a registered interface.
}


Could you please clarify in the docs if it is ignored and if not what is the 
difference to the OpenGroup implementation or specification.


Thanks!


Best regards,


	Andreas
