Title: XACML Conference Call Minutes

XACML Conference Call

Date:  Thursday, August 8, 2002

Time: 10:00 AM EDT

Tel: 512-225-3050 Access Code: 65998

 

Summary

Long list of action items exists from the F2F and those past due were reviewed. Because of some missing participants, some could not be closed out. There was also a discussion on how to handle schema changes going forward. There is general concern about modifying the schema while implementers are trying to implement. Any changes will require approval of TC. Also reviewed issues list and resolve some old issues; however there are many more to be covered next week and active review of the issues before then by the committee members will help the process immensely.

Raw Minutes (taken by Polar Humenn)

 

Discussion on Quorum.

 

Shankar is no longer. Shiresh on leave of absence.

We may not have quorum.

 

Hal: The only voting item we have is voting on the minutes of the F2F.

     We can wait a week.

 

Carlise: Put off accepting the minutes until the next meeting.

 

Actions items. Many people are not on the call.

August 1 and August 2 action items have not been met.

 

10:11: Simon just joined

 

Simon's action items from the F2F are still in progress.

Simon asked if we would have different examples.

Someone, possibly Anne, was supposed to submit a simple

example in English. Simon will update the current examples

to handle the current version of the schema.

 

Michiharu: Question on action item:

 

  [Hal, 14 Aug 2002] Find out proper value for XPathVersion: i.e. is

  there a URN?  Currently using http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116

 

  Hal: We need to choose an distinguished identifer. Have you got one?

  Michiharu: The current URL http://www.xpath..... is used to identify

              XPATH 1.0.

 

  Hal: In SAML we used a scheme adopted by the IETF. We should find a

       urn that isn't really deferencable. It should just be an identifer.

 

  Michiharu will come up with an identifier, but for the mean time or

  default we use the identifier we have above.

 

Carlise: Calling for Summary of F2F

 

Tim: 16e is our final release schema. Cleared up a lot of issues.

     1 issue brought up by anne. On the con call on Monday, we decided

     that we do not really need to change the schema.

 

     Any further changes to the schema should require acceptance of the

     TC, not the schema sub committee. No new ideas. We need approval

     of the full TC, even for bug fixes.

 

Simon: Already one fix: The AttributeIssuer is currently an URI, and I think

       it should be a string.

 

       This is because the issuer is usually a DN, not a uri. SAML has

       the issuer is a string.

 

       Carlise: calls for objections?

       Tim: Should we be modifing the schema on the fly?

            We should consider a change order.

       Hal: We should encourage implementers. Dilemna.

       Simon will send email (proposed schema fix).

       Hal: We publish on the list that we are going to make the change.

       Tim: We can curculate 16f, 16g, etc. on the list, but not publish

            it on the web site.

       Michiharu: On the web site we only have 15.

       Carlise: The next verision of the document will be 16.

 

Michiharu: We need to clear up the semantics on the SubjectAttributeDesignators.

       Carlise: Lets spend a couple of minutes on this issue.

 

       Michaharu: Not clear on Subject Attribute Designator element.

                  mail from Anne: Attribute Designatore Examples Aug 1.

 

                  He doesn't know what this means.

       Simon: We discussed this issue on Monday.

       Simeon explained it.

       Michiharu is still confused and will email to the list.

 

Carlise: Go over the issues list.

 

PM-1-04:

         Voted on in February.

         Carlise: We have 2 ways to represent attributes, using XPATH, or our

             own AttributeDesignators. Use XPATH if you need to refer

             to attributes in a resource.

         CLOSED.

 

PM-1-06: N-Of with zero elements shall result to TRUE.

         CLOSED

 

PM-1-08: Syntax of XACML Applicable policy.

         What is in the schema? Tim says its a URI.

         Do we need to reference the Authority?

         Carlise:

          We can live with not referencing the policy authority in version 1.0.

         Change the resolution so that it is just a URI for the policy

         or policy set.

         CLOSED.

 

PM-2-02: Target Specification

         We have ResourceAttributeDesignator.

         We have all rules spelled out for target and condition.

         It is all resolved in schema, attribute desinators and rules

         for evaluation target and condition

         CLOSED.

 

PM-2-04: Indexing policies

         Decided to defer LDAP profile to post 1.0.

         No longer an issue for 1.0.

         DEFERED.

 

PM-2-07: ValueRef type.

         We are not importing SAML.

         CLOSED.

 

PM-3-02: Specifying Policy Outcome.

         We have 4 values, Permit, Deny, Indeterminate, NotApplicable.

         We say nothing about what the PEP does.

         CLOSED.

 

Polar:   It's 11:00.

 

Carlise: When to have the next TC meeting. 1 week or 2 weeks?

 

Polar:   Motion for next week.

Ken:     I would like time to get through the issues.

Carlise: Okay, next meeting on the 15th.

 

Ken will post a new issues list.

 

Carlise: Action Item to everybody to take a quick look at the issues list and

         send resolutions to Ken to help speed the process.

 

Motion to adjuourn.
