Re: [provision-comment] Proposed scope of work

[jbohren@opennetwork.com (Jeff Bohren)]

I would suggest that asking the web service y directory for information about
provisioning an account (eith by the user x or a provisioning system) be
considered out of scope. The web server y will likely not be able to provide
this, which is one of the reasons that the provisioning systems exist. There
may be some cases where this is supported but in most case these systems are
back-ended by a system that defines acounts for the web service. This account
information would be managed by the provisioning system.

Should the provisioning system provide the information (data required and
process) needed for user x to get an account for web service y? I think that
should be in the scope of psml.
