You can create a Broker Configuration Notice (BCN) service on an initiating server which

automatically binds conversations to a specific user on a target server.

When a BCN service is created, the initiating service sends a

message to the BCN service to ask if a user context is available for the conversation on the

target server. When the BCN service responds that a user context is available, the user context

is bound to the conversation, and all messages are added to the queue under the context of

the user. If

, the dialog won’t proceed until the BCN service confirms that a

user context is available. If

, the dialog proceeds after the BCN ends the

conversation.

The BCN service also manages dynamic routing. For more information about creating a Broker

Configuration Notice Service, see

Note

If a BCN service is created, the initiating service requests the user context regardless of the

encryption status.
