Re: [xacml-users] Help on Condition ? <-- Obligations

[Oleg Gryb <oleg_gryb@yahoo.com>]

Bill,

The difference between "action" and "information/advice" elements still look vague to me. Adding Obligations to a Rule is something that I would like to see too. I had to wrap each rule to a policy in the past because rule-level obligations were not available.

Let us modify my example a bit by changing message to: "You've exceeded the max of $10000 in 6-month period. If you want to continue using the bill pay service, sign the agreement below".

If a user signs the agreement bill pay functionality will be enabled, otherwise the access will be denied. How is it different from the "sign agreement" obligation that Yoichi was writing about?
