scope:

The specifications contained herein are applicable to the provision of access control for applications that use OS1 management services and protocols.

This Recommendation I International Standard

- establishes user requirements for the provision of access conml for applications that use OS1 management services and protocols;

- interprets and applies the general model of access control defined in ITU-T Rec. X.812 I ISO/IEC 10181-3 for use with management applications that use OS1 management services and protocols:

defines procedures for the imposition of access control rules in conjunction with the use of OS1 management services and protocols;

- defines managed object classes and attribute types that

a) represent some of the access control information that may be used in the provision of access control; and

b) are only for use when the management of the access control information is to be achieved using systems management:

- specifies the protocol that is necessary to exchange the access control information defined in this Recommendation I International Standard, when the exchange is achieved using OS1 systems management;

- specifies conformance requirements for open systems that claim to support access control for applications that use OS1 management services and protocols:

- specifies conformance requirements for open systems that claim to support the management of the access control information defined in this Recornmendatibn I International Standard. 

The access control information identified by this Recommendation I International Standard may be used in support of access control schemes based on access control lists, capabilities. security labels, and contextual constraints.

This Recommendation I International Standard does not 

- define an access control policy for applications that use OS1 management services and protocols;

- define security (or management) domains in which an access control policy may be imposed;

- define how the components of an access control function be implemented, nor where those components be located;

- specify the form of any access control information that is temporarily or permanently stored in an open system;

- specify any access control mechanisms, nor mandate the use of any particular access control mechanism;

- mandate that access control information be managed, and if it is to be managed, that management be achieved using OS1 systems management;

- describe how communicating management application entities act to make access control decisions on behalf of, or for the benefit of any third party;

- specify any conformance requirement for the access control parameter defined in this Recommendation I International Standard.
