    Subject: RE: [xacml] New resolution for PM-1-02: Post-Conditions


    
    Ken,
    
    The revised proposal sumitted by Anne is fine with me. My opinion is that
    since the PEP is definitely responsible for controlling the access to the
    resource, the ultimate decision is determined by the PEP's policy in
    addition to the authorization decision assertion returned by the PDP. This
    is in line with Tim's opinion that "PEP may knowingly disregard an
    obligation. But, it SHALL NOT disregard an obligation that it does not
    recognize." in
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200203/msg00090.html
    I think that the Anne's revised statement is also in line with this policy.
    
    Best

    Is this issue ready to close? There was a lot of discussion after the
    original posting by Michiharu. Is everyone in aggreement with Anne's
    modifications? If so, I'll flag it in the issues list to be voted on.

    Colleagues, we voted to close issue PM-1-02, but decisions made in later
    votes affects some of the wording of the resolution to this issue.� Here is
    the original resolution as approved, along with changes I propose based on
    our later votes in []:
    
    � We use the term "obligation" to mean what we have previously
    � been calling "post condition". The issue of the term is
    � addressed in PM-1-03.
    
    � [CHANGE TO: "Obligations are annotations": The obligation is an
    � annotation] that MAY be specified in a policyStatement and/or
    � policyCombinationStatement that should be returned in
    � conjunction with an authorization decision meaning that the
    � obligations(s) SHOULD be executed by the PEP. The obligation is
    � specified using URI reference with optional arguments. [DELETE:
    � The processing rules of the obligation is defined by ruleSet
    � combiner or policySet combiner. XACML provides a couple of
    � combiner examples that deals with obligations in the
    � informative section.] The actual meaning of each obligation
    � [CHANGE TO "depends on the": differs from] application. It also
    � depends on the configuration of the PEP and/or PDP. If the PEP
    � does not [CHANGE TO "recognize": understand] an obligation, the
    � PEP should deny access. [DELETE: The PDP just collects
    � obligations.]
    
    � [DELETE: (from F2F#4 minutes) ]The set of obligations returned
    � by each level of evaluation includes only those obligations
    � [ADD: "returned by rules, policyStatements, or
    � policyCombinationStatements that were actually evaluated by the
    � combiner algorithm, and "] associated with the effect element
    � being returned by the given level of evaluation.� For example,
    � a policy set may include some policies that return Permit and
    � other policies that return Deny for a given request
    � evaluation. If the policy combiner returns a result of Permit,
    � then only those obligations associated with the policies [ADD:
    � "that were evaluated, and "] that returned Permit are returned
    � to the next higher level of evaluation.� If the PDP's
    � evaluation is viewed as a tree of policyCombinationStatements,
    � policyStatements, and rules, each of which returns "Permit" or
    � "Deny", then the set of obligations returned by the PDP will
    � include only the obligations associated [ADD: "with evaluated"]
    � paths where the effect at each level of evaluation is the same
    � as the effect being returned by the PDP.
