      Abstract: This specification defines a profile for the integration of the
      OASIS
      Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Version 2.0 with all versions of
      XACML. SAML 2.0 complements XACML functionality in many ways, so a number of
      somewhat independent functions are described in this profile: 1) use of SAML
      2.0 Attribute Assertions with XACML, including the use of SAML Attribute
      Assertions in a SOAP Header to convey Attributes that can be consumed by an
      XACML PDP, 2) use of SAML to carry XACML authorization decisions,
      authorization
      decision queries, and authorization decision responses, 3) use of SAML to
      carry
      XACML policies, policy queries, and policy query responses, 4) use of XACML
      authorization decisions or policies as Advice in SAML Assertions, and 5) use
      of
      XACML responses in SAML Assertions as authorization tokens. Particular
      implementations may provide only a subset of these functions.
      TC Description: XACML is expected to address fine grained control of
      authorized
      activities, the effect of characteristics of the access requestor, the
      protocol
      over which the request is made, authorization based on classes of activities,
      and content introspection (i.e. authorization based on both the requestor and
      potentially attribute values within the target where the values of the
      attributes may not be known to the policy writer). XACML is also expected to
      suggest a policy authorization model to guide implementers of the
      authorization
      mechanism.
