Inbound communications refers to the configuration that determines the type of accepted authentication for inbound requests. This authentication is advertised in the interoperable object reference (IOR) that the client retrieves from the name server.
For a J2EE application server, the authentication choice is usually either identity assertion or message layer because you want the identity of the originating client delegated downstream. You cannot easily delegate a client certificate using an SSL connection. It is acceptable to enable the transport layer because additional server security, as the additional client certificate portion of the SSL handshake, adds some overhead to the overall SSL connection establishment.
