5.2 Related Governance Attributes for Authentication

This section describes the Authentication attributes that appear in the Governance Document.

5.2.1 domain_rule

The attribute allow_unauthenticated_participants belongs inside a <domain_rule>.

This attribute may be TRUE or FALSE. It controls whether or not a remote DomainParticipant that either doesn’t support security or fails the authentication handshake is allowed to proceed in trying to communicate with the local DomainParticipant. Communication with such a DomainParticipant will happen only on the topics for which all of the topic rules are set to FALSE or NONE.

If allow_unauthenticated_participants is set to TRUE, rtps_protection_kind must be set to NONE.
