Attendees
Goals
- Address concerns with current design:
- persistence of ACLs for external nodes
- limitations of implemented inheritance/override model
- Overview of XACML policies and policy sets
- peek at the JBOSS policy engine
- Begin a new XACML design page, i.e. mapping XACML to fedora authz delegate, etc..
- How to specify effective XACML policies for a given node/region?
- How and where to persist policy objects?
- How to map Fedora metadata into XACML request/context attributes
- which attributes are always in the XACML request context?
- which attributes are also available to policies via the attribute finder?
- More???
Discussion Items
| Time | Item | Who | Notes |
|---|
| 5min | Overview, review goals & wiki page | Greg | - Notes for this agenda item
|
| 5min | Review AuthZ delegate api | Mike | |
| 5min | XACML Policies and JBoss PDP | Greg | |
| 20min | Identify some XACML implementation alternatives | All | Starting out we favor an internal PDP (configured as a bean within the webapp). The code can be in a separate project. |
| 15min | Role inheritance/persistence (Hydra rights, rbacl, XACML etc..) | Greg | |
| 15min | What can we do in this sprint? | All | |
Action Items
- Kevin S. Clarke Investigate what data is available on incoming authz requests for newly created objects, i.e. in Session
- Do we have enough information via the Path parameter to determine access for metadata? (Implementation-specific identification of readable metadata)
- Eric James Identify trade-offs for different acl persistence strategies.
- Greg Jansen Elaborate on the design enough to make it a topic of the commiter call. (Outline the APIs used and take a use case through the entire sequence of events.)
