Contents being worked on now. III. Issues BTG David, is in the process of splitting document into a SAML Profile and XACML profile. He is a bit unclear as to what is needed in XACML profile based upon Paul's comments on the list. Hal offered that a Profile may created or an artifact on non-normative document track. Greg noted that he is awaiting feedback from the SAML group on the proposal made to that group. David summarized the current discussion into 4 basic topics: 1. Use existing components in a standard way (general approval) 2. Should be a BTG state attribute (general approval) 3. BTG response from PDP? User knows if has BTG privilege. (open) 4. Should there be an Obligation or special BTG response management? (open) Mike suggested that state need to broadened to be more generic than BTG. Hal offered that a generalize dynamic state manager that could be used for notification, etc. The current mechanisms outlined are Obligation/Advice and Missing Information. Mike suggested that the case of the request spanning organizations is fundamentally different than than an internal solution. He suggested that BTG capabilities be indicated upon initial interface with the PEP. Bill suggested that BTG doesn't have context until a Deny has been issued. Hal contrasted the flow diagrams posted to the list by Paul and David--PDP and PEP manages the BTG state. Paul intended that the PDP return a Deny with Advice. Doron offered that an Advice on a Deny would allow for a simple Profile that would be reasonably interoperable. David noted that an Obligation was used in the proposal for XACML v2 compliance. meeting adjourned.
