Re: [xacml] resource-id attribute: mandatory or optional?

Jan,

This is the conformance section. It means that the PDP must treat the
resource-id attribute as specified. It does not say that the
resource-id must be part of every request.

(BTW, I cannot think of anything special the PDP has to do with the
resource-id in the core spec anyway. The multiple and hierarchical
profiles though contain lots of requirements for the PDP/context
handler.)

Best regards,

Erik

Dear all,

  
section
10.2.6 in the xacml 3.0 core spec defines the
resource-id attribute as mandatory. From my point of view it would be
more convenient
to define it as optional as the content-selector attribute is doing the
same thing.
Defining resource-id as mandatory forces decision requests to contain
this
attribute even if never used. 

  
best regards
