Allow DCOM Over HTTP DCOM is a binary protocol layered over RPC and designed to enable COM-
based components to interoperate across networks. This check box is
unchecked by default.
For DCOM to work, the connecting client must be able to reach the server by
its actual IP address. Therefore, it is necessary to create client-side
transparency using an address transform on the system depending on
whether the DCOM connection is incoming or outgoing (server-side
transparency exists by default).
Note: DCOM normally uses dynamic port allocation, but because you are
sending DCOM over HTTP, it uses the designated HTTP ports.
Allow FTP protocol conversion Lets the system handle FTP URLs. The same authentication that can occur in
normal HTTP requests can occur here, but file name extensions, Java, and
allowed URL filtering have no effect on these connections.
This option is unchecked by default.
