Subject: Minor XACML Spec errata and resource labels. Forwarded message from Jeff.
------- start of forwarded message ------- From: "Jeff" <jeff@cogentlogic.com> To: <Anne.Anderson@sun.com> Subject: Minor XACML Spec errata and resource labels Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2003 17:02:54 -0400 Hi Anne, Thanks for all the great XACML work :-) There's a minor error on line 1674 (page 44, PolicySet line [071]) of oasis-####-xacml-1.0.pdf: please remove the trailing slash. I don't see anything in XACML relating to resource labels (in fact the word label doesn't appear at all in oasis-####-xacml-1.0.pdf!). Resource labels are part of the authorization support in the X.509 standard and are used in several RBAC implementations. Resource labels are useful in enabling resource characteristics (i) to be set on resources and (ii) to form part of access control decisions. I feel sure that you must be aware of this and can only conclude that a PolicySet is intended to act as a resource label (in addition to acting as a policy set!). Is this correct? Warmest regards, Jeff Lawson Cogent Logic Toronto, Canada (416) 340 8025 -----Original Message----- From: Anne Anderson [mailto:Anne.Anderson@Sun.com] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 1:50 PM To: XACML COMMENT Cc: XACML TC Subject: [xacml-comment] Minor XACML Spec errata These should go into the Errata document (if they are approved by the TC): * page 62, line 2492: there is no DataType in AttributeAssignment.
