On Windows and most Unix platforms, the TCP stack is unable to transfer
credentials over a TCP connection, so the
<link linkend="auth-mechanisms-external">EXTERNAL</link>
authentication mechanism does not work for this transport.
authentication mechanism does not normally work for this transport
(although the reference implementation of D-Bus is able to identify
loopback TCPv4 connections on Windows by their port number,

mechanism is normally used instead.
