How to load multiple XML files with RTI Connector

When you use RTI Connector, all the types, topics, domain, and entities must be defined in an XML file that gets loaded when the Connector object is created.

For example, the following snippet loads the required definitions from "config.xml" and then instantiates a new Connector object for the domain participant "MyParticipant" defined in the participant library "MyParticipantLib"

const rti = require('rticonnextdds-connector');
var connector = new rti.Connector("MyParticipantLib::MyParticipant", "config.xml");

Using TPM 2.0 with DDS Secure

This document describes all the steps required to use a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 to protect the identity of domain participants in a system built on top of RTI Connext DDS Secure.

The attached PDF gives step by step instructions on how to use the TPM 2.0 chip available in many business-class PCs. Note that older computers might have a chipset implementing the older specification of the TPM (1.2). Refer to the separate HOWTO document to work with TPM 1.2.
