The CredsDirective usage is the following:

CD_Default

This directive means to use the default set up by the thread, the ORB, the ORB configuration, available credentials, or other policies.

CD_InvokeTarget

This directive means to use the the specified OwnCredentials to create a secure association with the target before invocation. Do not endorse or embody the target. Credentials may be IT_Simple, IT_Quoting, or IT_Proxy.

CD_EndorseTarget

This directive means to use the the specified OwnCredentials to create a secure association with the target before invocation. The credentials must be IT_Simple, IT_Quoting, or IT_Proxy own credentials that supports endorsement. Note, a Initiator Credentials that is a IT_Proxy may have an endorsement statement that not only endorses this immediate client, but may very well apply to the next target.

CD_EmbodyTarget

If possible give the target the ability to impersonate the client, is performed using transports that can forward their credentials in the transport that give the ability to the target to work in their own behalf. Alternatively, the authenticator may be able to be passed on. IT_Simple credentials must have or have the ability to forward credentials. This is analogous to flipping the DELEGATE bit on GSS-Kerberos Forwardable credentials. IT_Quoting principals means that you can forward the transport credentials, authenticator plus the Quoting statement. IT_Proxy principals means that you can forward the transport credentials, authenticator, and associated proxy statements.

On using Own Credentials. The creds_ids name Own Credentials. Also, they restrict the invocation to use only certain credentials. If the cred_ids list is empty, then the own credentials for the invocation are selected from a default, which may be set on the thread or the ORB instance.
