Hi Pearl,

The endPoint option is for specifying the local interface and port on 
which a CORBA application is to listen for incoming requests. An 
endPoint is only half a connection.

If you are trying to limit client access to your server, then you should 
define server transport rules as described in the omniORB manual.

What are you trying to do?

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn R. Jensen
