Subject: Re: [kmip] KMIP 2.0 Delete Attribute --- Re: [kmip] Groups - Introduction to KMIP v2.0 WD01 uploaded
For a multivalued attribute, given we don't have an attribute index any more, how would the server know which one to delete?Given we've pitched the index, we now need to know which value.Unless we're talking about adopting the "don't argue with me, young man, you know what I meant" approach whereby the server just randomly shoots a value. That might prove difficult to write a conformance test for.

There is no text in the KMIP 2.0 spec that I have found that clearly contradicts that. So the KMIP client would have to know the current value of the attribute to delete it. That would be a new requirement and one I don't see the need for.Best,Mark JosephP6R, IncFrom: Tony Cox <tony.cox@cryptsoft.com>
