Re: [provision] A Proposal for using DSML for Provisioning

Tony,

No, I would not say that is true in general, although it might be in some
cases. In use case 5 the RA is the requestor that is requesting a PSTD on
the behalf of a specific principle. The principle that is used for
authenticating request at the protocol (i.e. SOAP) may or may not be the
principle of the RA. If it is not, then the authRequest tag must be used to
specificy that the principle upon which authroization decisions are to be
made is the principle of the RA. Obviously the principle that was used for
the protocol must have privalege to impersonate the RA.
