item 11 (xacml extension points) mods

["Simon Godik" <simon.godik@overxeer.com>]

After focus call mods to the xacml extension points proposal. (Item 11).

 

Proposal:
Allow element of type <xacml:ParametrsType> as an optional child of <xacml:PolicySet> and <xacml:Policy> elements. <xacml:Parameters> element contains a list of parameters specific to the combining algorithm of <xacml:Parameters> element parent. If MustUnderstand attribute of <xacml:Parameters> element is set to "true", PDP must be able to process all enclosed <xacml:Parameter> elements. If MustUnderstand is 'true', a list of parameters must include at least one parameter.

If MustUnderstand attribute is set to "false", PDP may ignore a list of combiner-specific parameters.

 

Parameter names and values are interpreted by the combining algorithm.

 

Schema:

<xs:element name="Parameters" type="xacml:ParametersType"/>
<xs:complexType name="ParametersType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="xacml:Parameter" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>

<xs:attribute name="MustUnderstand" type="xs:boolean" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
<!-- -->
<xs:element name="Parameter" type="xacml:ParameterType"/>
<xs:complexType name="ParameterType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any namespace="##any" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="ParameterName" type="string" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
