Q:I'm curious what you're doing because I never saw attribute certs widely used in practice.

R:Years ago, we created an XACML server that is RBAC profile compliant : https://projects.ow2.org/view/authzforce/.

Question is : how do you represent roles, especially in a security-critical context such as the one I work in. For such a matter, attribute certs might be an answer : signature, delegation, etc. Also usable for security clearances, etc.

Feel free to ask if you need more info on this.


BTW. I will look again into pmi.[schema|ldif], but I could not find attribute certificates at first. It seems to me that it only provides the PMI (=Privilege Mgmt Infra., the equivalent of a PKI for id certs) schema.

Best,

P

I am looking for an RFC 5755 (attribute certificates profile) schema file.

I thought it was in pmi.schema, but it appears that no, unless I am missing sthing.

AFAICS pmi.schema is indeed what you're looking for.

Note that RFC 5755 defines the X.509 certificate profile and not an LDAP schema.

Ciao, Michael.
