Subject: role dominance
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:41:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47824819.9040006@manicmethod.com> (raw)
While working on policyrep we've found that role dominance is pretty
difficult to implement correctly, and apparently there is some ambiguity
about how it works. The main problem we are running into now is that
converting the role bitmaps of an old module (compatibility) back to a
role dominance statement is very difficult.
Also it seems like noone has really used role dominance. During
conversations about it here Chris PeBenito suggests that he wants
something like it for refpolicy but a role attribute kind of system may
be much simpler and easier to implement/understand.
Thoughts?
