  • Summary:

    Summary: Paragraph 19 of section 15.8.4.2 says:

    "In this example if mechanism “mech 1” is used the target security name is “MBn1”
    while the association must use integrity replay and misordering options. If mechanism
    “mech 2” is used no mechanism specific security name has been specified and so
    “Manchester branch” is used as the security name. The association options are
    EstablishTrustInClient and Integrity."

    The last sentence seems to imply that if "mech 2" is used the top-level
    association options, and not the association options for "mech 2" are used.
    If this is always the case, then it would seem pointless to bother
    specifying association options for "mech 2" because they will never be
    used. If this is the case (which would also be very strange) only when
    a tag_sec_name is not present for "mech 2" this should be explained
    more clearly.
