Re: [xacml] Updated policy template wiki
All,

      

      I still fail to see why this is useful.

      

      If you take a policy template, and replace each <Parameter>
      with an appropriate <AttributeDesignator>, then you get a
      regular XACML policy, and the PEP/PDP can "fill in" the "template"
      at runtime using normal XACML attributes.

      

      Why do we need a new standard? In particular I would be opposed to
      "implementation option C", that is a PDP would construct the
      policy from the template at runtime. That's lots of heavy
      machinery for no gain.

      

      Best regards,

      Erik

I’ve updated the policy template wiki (https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/Policy%20Template%20Profile)
          with text about required Match _expression_ rewriting in
          parameter substitution and optional use of
          AttributeDesignators and AttributeSelectors in Parameter data
          in dynamic policy template reduction implementations.
