  • 1.  Reopened issue 50

    All,
    
    I have reopened issue 50, how to express and enforce maximum delegation
    depth.
    
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/IssuesList
    
    The current draft puts the delegation depth into the request as an
    ordinary attribute. My colleague Olav Bandmann has raised the issue that
    this makes possible to write complex rules regarding permitted
    delegation depths, which introduces a path dependency in the reduction
    process. We are worried that this makes the overall algorithm
    computationally complex.
    
    We do not know for sure what the consequences are and there are no
    suggested solutions yet.
    
    Regards,
    Erik
