5.29 Element<AttributeDesignator> "If the Issuer is not present in the attribute designator, then
the matching of the attribute to the named attribute SHALL be governed by AttributeId and DataType attributes alone."
- And Category.
Yes!
Also in 7.3.4 Attribute Matching.
5.48 Element<Result>
"<PolicyIdentifierList> [Optional]
If the ReturnPolicyIdList attribute in the<Request> is true (see section
5.42), a PDP that implements this optional feature MUST return a list of all
policies which were found to be fully applicable."
- This prevents the PDP from skipping evaluation of policies that cannot affect
the decision. IOW, it prevents performance optimizations. This is not a big deal
to me, since the feature is optional, but maybe something to note in the
implementer's guide?
The intended behavior is not how you interpret it. It says "which were found..." so it's simply the list of policies the PDP worked on during evaluation. It does not mean that the PDP has to figure out which policies "might have been fully applicable if they were to be evaluated". If you have a suggestion for better wording, please post it, and I can update this while we are fixing the other issues.
7.3.7 AttributeSelector evaluation
"If the DataType is not one of the primitive types listed above, then the
return values shall be constructed from the nodeset in a manner specified by the
of the particular DataType extension specification."
- "specified by the of the" misses a crucial noun.
It should just say "in a manner specified by the particular datatype extension specification", meaning that if you extend XACML with a custom data type, you also need to define (and implement) this constructor.
7.7 Target evaluation
"An empty target matches any request. Otherwise the target value SHALL be
"Match" if all the AnyOf specified in the target match values in the request
context."
- This conflicts with 5.6 Element<Target>: "For the parent of the<Target>
element to be applicable to the decision request, there MUST be at least one
positive match between each<AnyOf> element of the<Target> element and the
corresponding section of the<Request> element."
Yes, I will fix that. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks, Ray
