The Implementation ID (IID)
3
These are strings that uniquely identify an implementation. The only

restrictions on these are that they be ASCII, begin with "OAFIID:",

and not contain the comma (','), square bracket ('[]'), or forward
6
slash ('/') characters.

If you are really at a loss on how to create these, here is a suggested format:

OAFIID:program_name:UUID
10
(where UUID is a uuid as generated by uuidgen).
12
The only absolute requirement about these is that they uniquely
13
identify an implementation. Human readability is a "would be very

The Activation ID (AID)
18
These are strings that tell how to bootstrap a specific object
19
instance. This means that environmental information such as hostname,
20
user, etc. They have the following format:
22
OAFAID:[IID,user,host,domain]
24
IID format has been described above. 'user' is the login
25
username. 'host' is a DNS domain name or stringified IP
26
address. 'domain' is a string describing what use area the object has
27
- normally this will be 'user' (XXX not clearly defined yet).
29
Manual creation of AIDs is unsupported - instead, just store and use
30
the ones returned by the activate() operation.
