    Subject: Issue#47: WS-Policy Assertion profile for XACML


    Colleagues,
    
    Now that WS-Policy has been submitted to and accepted by the W3C, it 
    seems like we should have a standard way to carry an XACML Policy or 
    PolicySet as an Assertion in a WS-Policy instance.  I'm thinking of 
    something like a very simple wrapper:
    
    <xacmlws:XACMLPolicyAssertion Optional="False">
       <xacml:PolicySet ...>
         ...
       </xacml:PolicySet>
    </xacmlws:XACMLPolicyAssertion>
    
    Two other possible inclusions might be:
    
    1) A signed SAML Assertion containing an instance of the 
    XACMLAuthzDecisionStatementType that includes the corresponding Request 
    Context; for use as an authorization credential.
    
       <xacmlws:XACMLAuthzCredential>
          <saml:Assertion>
             ... (containing XACMLAuthzDecisionStatementType instance)
          </saml>
       </xacmlws:XACMLAuthzCredential>
    
    2) Individual XACML <Apply> statements, for expressing individual 
    authorization constraints.
    
       <xacmlws:XACMLAuthzAssertion ...>
           <xacml:Apply FunctionId="...">
              ...
           </xacml:Apply>
       </xacmlws:XACMLAuthzAssertion>
    
    I've added this as Issue#47 to the Issues list at 
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/IssuesList
