Subject: Re: [xacml] another small time/date issue
why not? it is conceivable that it would information that the requestor does not--or should not--have that could be used for accessing secondary information necessary to derive a decision. as you pointed out earlier this falls into the realm of operational control, and as such is beyond the XACML scope. still, it doesn't mean that XACML doesn't play a role in each decision. b Daniel Engovatov wrote: > ..but PDP is not intended to be a source (for "adding/enhancing") of > information, is it?
