Internet-Draft XACML Media Type May 2013
1. Introduction
The eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [XACML-3]
defines an architecture and a language for access control
(authorization). The language consists of requests, responses, and
policies. Clients sends a request to a server to query whether a
given action should be allowed. The server evaluates the request
against the available policies and returns a reponse. The policies
implement the organization's access control requirements.
2. IANA Considerations
This specification registers an XML-based media type for the
eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) that will be
registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
following the "Media Type Specifications and Registration Procedures"
[RFC6838]. The XACML media type represents an XACML request,
response, or policy in the XML-based format defined by the core XACML
specification [XACML-3].
2.1. XACML Media Type application/xacml+xml
This specification requests the registration of an XML-based media
type for the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML).
2.1.1. Media Type Name

2.1.2. Subtype Name

2.1.3. Required Parameters
