How the Workstation Client Connects to an Application

The following flowchart shows how a Workstation client connects to an application.

The client connects to the WSL process using a known network address. The process for establishing this connection is initiated when the client calls tpchkauth() or tpinit(). The WSL returns the address of a WSH to the client, and then notifies the Workstation handler process of the connection request. The WSC connects to the WSH. All further communication between the WSC and the application takes place through the WSH.
