Re: forced VCAR (was: revised security section)



Hi,

When the scope of CAP was being worked on there seemed to be general consensus that CAP would not be a protocol that supported CS administration.

Obviously there has to be some CS administration support. To date the method used to decide what goes in and what gets punted has been the question, "Will customers expect that typical individual users need to perform this task?"

IMHO setting an enforceable CS policy fails the test that we have been using, therefore CAP should not address this topic.

It might, if the protocol provides a way for an admin to set it.  (Of course,
then you have to have access control on who gets to be an admin...)
