Hi Jorge, Can you please explain the functional difference between XACML PDP and PyPDP. The architecture description, https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Policy, does not explain PyPDP. From what I gather, both are XACML PDP engines but not sure of the difference. Both these components are also deployed in separate containers. The below email mentions PyPDP supporting a PEP function ? is this related to the API?s exposed to retrieve Policy configuration rather than evaluating a XACML request and returning decision.

We use websocket as internal mode of communication between PDP and PEP. (default) 2) It can also use UEB. callPDP method in turn makes a REST call to PDP component and returns back a response from PDP (XACML). The XACML response from PDP is converted back to Config /action or decision responses depending on the call made. The non-deprecated version of getDecision is getDecision(DecisionRequestParameters decisionRequestParameters). There are currently three calls that are supported by PEP (Policy XACML) 1) getConfig ? This is a configuration based policy. When made a request the response should give back a configuration if a permit. 2) getDecision ? This is a generic decision based policy. The response contains either a permit or deny. 3) sendEvent ? This is an action based decision policy. Where upon occurrence of few events (signatures) the POLICY can either perform an action or suggest an action to be taken by the PEP. Hope this answers all the questions here. Regards, Tarun Tej.

PEP(PyPDPServer) queries XACML PDP using callPDP function in StdPolicyEngine.java. But how does PDP notify its decision to PEP? getDecision() in PolicyEngine.java is deprecated. sendEvent() function is not called by anyone. I didn't see how PEP get response from PDP. It's supposed to use either getDecision() or sendEvent(). But it looks like both are not called by anything else except tests. -- Regards!
