Re: [xacml] RE: Target definition
The definition you gave, John, is very "XACML 2.0"-like. I can see that it's also the definition in the XACML 3.0 document. We should broaden it to include environment attributes and attributes of custom categories.

Thoughts?

Sounds reasonable.  Keep the rules/policies as passive documents and attribute action to the PDP.

Subject: [xacml] Target definition

 

On the last call, I said that it was too soon to start working on 4.0.  I am holding to that, but have a suggested change for the definition for “target” when the time is right.

 

3.0--

Target 

The set of decision requests, identified by definitions for
resource, subject and action that a 
rule, policy, or policy set is intended to evaluate

 

Proposed-- 

Target

The set of decision requests, identified by definitions for
resource, subject and action that a 
PDP is intended to evaluate according to the applicable rule,
policy, or policy set 

 

Thoughts?
