3.2.5.9.4.7 Receiving a RopGetLocalReplicaIds ROP Request

  • Article

When the client sends the server a RopGetLocalReplicaIds ROP (section 2.2.3.2.4.7) request, the server MUST parse the request, as specified in [MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.13.13.1 and section 2.2.3.2.4.7 of this specification. The server MUST respond with a RopGetLocalReplicaIds ROP response, as specified in [MS-OXCROPS] section 2.2.13.13.2 or 2.2.13.13.3, and section 2.2.3.2.4.7 of this specification.

A server can choose to limit the maximum number of IDs that can be allocated in one batch, for example, to prevent malicious clients from causing denial-of-service attacks by depleting the set of available IDs. However, the server is responsible for enforcing this limit and MUST allow for the upper limit of the moderate size range recommended to clients, as specified in section 3.3.5.8.12.
