PUBLIC REVIEW ISSUE Policy 90 Fine-grained Authorization

[ashok malhotra <ashok.malhotra@oracle.com>]

This note is to convey to you the resolution of the issue raised by you 
as a result of the
first public review of the SCA Policy Framework specification in 
http://lists.oasisopen.
org/archives/sca-policy-comment/200906/msg00004.html.

Description: Section 7.3 of the spec describes the 'authorization' 
intent. This
qualifiable intent has but a single qualifier: fineGrain and this 
qualifier is the default.
What this means is that if an implementer specifies the 'authorization'
intent he will get 'authorization.fineGrain'. This does not seem right 
as 'fineGrain'
describes a specific type of authorization and one that some feel is 
overly complex.
\
This issue was opened as issue POLICY-90
(http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/POLICY-90) and was resolved on August 
24, 2009
(see http://www.oasisopen.
org/committees/download.php/34333/SCA%20Policy%20minutes%202009-08-
24.pdf) and by removing the fine-grain qualifier from the authorization 
intent.

Thank you for raising this issue.  We trust you will find this 
resolution satisfactory. If not, please let us know by
responding to this note.
