In my previous post, we went though defining XACML policies for web application. Now i am going to try out the scenario, that is defined in that blog post, with third approach. i.e. By using “getEntitledAttributes” method in Entitlement Service API of Identity Server. Identity Server is an open source XACML engine that supports XACML […]

In my previous post, we went though defining XACML policies for web application. Now i am going to try out the scenario, that is defined there with second approach. i.e. Multiple decision profile with hierarchical resource profile. Here i am using Identity Server which is an open source XACML engine that supports XACML 3.0, multiple […]

XACML is the standard for access control in the SOA. But it seems to be that it is still not much widely adopted within the enterprises yet. I guess, mostly people may not have an idea about the capability of the XACML… It just not a XML based policy language… It has lot of extensibility […]
If you are working with XACML. You surely have heard about the PIP (Policy information Point). PIPs help to PDP by finding things that are needed for policy evaluation. PIPs are mostly extension points that can be implemented and plugged with PDP according to the your use case. Identity Server supports several PIP extension points. […]
According to the XACML core specification, It only talks about a PDP that can provide authorization result of boolean values (Basically permit, deny, not applicable, indeterminate results and some additional data using advice and obligations). Basically from the PDP, application (PEP) can ask something like “is user authorized to do this” ? And application (PEP) […]
XPath is playing an import role in XACML when policies are evaluated for XML based data. When XML data is passed across nodes, PEP can be an interception point that calls the PDP with passing XML data. Based on the XML data, PDP can take decisions. Let see how we can develop simple policy that […]
As we already know, there can be multiple policies in the PDP policy store. For each XACML request, PDP would pick the applicable policy (or policies) based on policy’s Target element. Complexity would be; when more than one policy is applicable for the request. Then PDP needs to combine the result based on the policy […]
In my previous post, I went through “Kmarket” online trading sample using Balana XACML 3.0 implementation. Now let see, how we can build this sample with WSO2 Identity Server. Please make sure to read my previous post to get some idea about the sample…. ? Step 1. Upload sample policies which can be found here […]
Long time ago, i tied to discuss on measuring XACML PDP performance. As i mentioned earlier, it was little bit tricky task to define a proper test suit for XACML performance testing. But however, I have done some performance testing with WSO2 Identity Server, which is an open source XACML engine based on Balana. Using […]
