Re: [xacml-users] Which XSD of SAML Profile of XACML to use?
Hi Nick,

    

    Have you checked the XACML TC main page:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml#technical

    

    in particular, the SAML 2.0 profile of XACML refers to the XACML 2.0
    errata just below it,

    which has different schema files. These errata files should be
    correct as we have used

    them in Interops:

    Corrected assertion schema:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11474/access_control-xacml-2.0-saml-assertion-schema-os.xsd

    Corrected protocol schema:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/11475/access_control-xacml-2.0-saml-protocol-schema-os.xsd

    

    Thanks,

    Rich

    Hi Nick,

      

      My understanding is that the initial SAML profile of XACML was
      specific to XACML 2.0. With the new XACML 3.0 specification, that
      profile was updated to cater for XACML 2.0 and XACML 3.0 at the
      same time.

      

      These are the links you should focus on (copied from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml#CURRENT):

      WD 13 does stand for working draft.

      

      Based on the latest work on the core XACML specification, I doubt
      the SAML profile will be impacted but Erik, the editor, will know
      best.

The official xsd files published
                under SAML Profile of XACML 2.0
                (access_control-xacml-2.0-saml-protocol-schema-os.xsd
                &
                access_control-xacml-2.0-saml-assertion-schema-os.xsd)
                seem to contain some bugs and won’t validate.   I found
                the other two new xsd files under XACML 3.0 link on
                OASIS web site
                (xacml-2.0-profile-saml2.0-v2-schema-assertion-wd-13.xsd
                &
                xacml-2.0-profile-saml2.0-v2-schema-protocol-wd-13.xsd)
                that have no validation errors.   

              
 

              
So my question is, are these two xsd
                files (xxx-wd-13.xsd) the latest version of xacml-samlp
                & xacml-saml?  If yes, why they are labeled with
                wd-13 (I believe wd stands for working draft)?  If not, 
                Is the XACML TC going to come up with new schema files
                for xacml-samlp and xacml-saml?

              
 

              
Thanks a lot!
