Hi,

What is the real time use case when XACML PDP has to find the attribute values from external sources i.e. LDAP, Database etc.

Why not authentication system return all the attributes of a subject so the XACML PDP do not have to locate the attribute values?

More explanation about the related topic would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Best Regards.
