[higgins-dev] Access Control telecon: tentative: Wed 27th 5-6pm

["Paul Trevithick" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to http://doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=y2bcrxz35sdaf7hs
this is the best possibility. We'll pencil in for now.

Starter Agenda 
==============

1) Use cases
------------
* What sets of use cases are we considering? (e.g. Phil Hunt's IGF cases,
Parity's "VRM" R-card cases, David KM's cases)

2) Motivations 
--------------
* Motivations of different groups of higgins developers to get something in
place.
* Perhaps each "interested" group/person should speak for a couple minutes
on what Higgins capabilities they'd like to see in this area

3) Scope 
--------
* Policy representation only? 
* Policy enforcement? 
* Policy authoring?

4) Relationship to other efforts
--------------------------------
* Should we create a Higgins profile of XACML?
* IGF?
* others?

5) Design Choices
-----------------
* Should we keep policy "data" separate from "resource" data in the Context?
In other words should "policy" point to "resources"? or is it the other way
around?
* How is policy expressed in the data model?

6) Implementation Choices
-------------------------
* PEP built into IdAS?
* PEP Context Provider?
* PEP as a Context Provider responsibility

7) Control over what resources?
-------------------------------
* see: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Access_Control_in_IdAS#Requirements point #2

8) Timing/Functionality Tradeoffs
---------------------------------
* Do we want to do something simple and quick AND on a longer, slower track
something more robust? 
* Or should we figure out the long term plan and then see how to implement
an initial phase 

9) Process Issues
-----------------
* Volunteer to lead this work area? 
* Meeting schedules, etc.
* Next steps
