UMU-XACML-Editor Home Page | University of Murcia (UMU)

The University of Murcia (UMU) has developed an XACML policy definition software in Java called UMU-XACML-Editor. This is just an small part of a significative research effort on using different XML-related standards and technologies, such as XACML and SAML, to solve different scenarios on authentication and authorization of users and devices when accessing a network and the resources existing in that network.

This is the web page where you can get most of the information regarding this software. The UMU-XACML-Editor is actually intended to cover XACML 2.0 standard policies as defined by the OASIS eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) TC.

You are kindly invited to download and test the last version, and give us your feedback on its usability, any problem that may occur while using it, or ideas about any improvements that we can make on it. You can also access to the mailing lists created for this software.

If you want to see other research and development works we are doing at our research group take a look at this web page: http://ants.dif.um.es/

[10-04-2007] Source Code Released at sourceforge.net.

[17-06-2005] UMU-XACML-Editor v1.2.0 released, which reduces the number of external libraries in use to just JDOM.

[26-05-2005] UMU-XACML-Editor v1.1.0 released, which increases the control on the position of XACML elements inside policy documents.

UMU-XACML-Editor v1.3.2 software. Requirements: Java JDK 1.4.0 or above. Source code of current version (v1.3.2) is available at sourceforge.net

For using it: just decompress this ZIP file and double click on UMU-XACML-Editor.jar You can also write in the Java console java -jar UMU-XACML-Editor.jar

To create a new policy just click with the right button of your mouse on the Policy Document tag and start creating and managing different XACML policies. All the other menus are self-explanatory.

There are two mailing lists that you can use to get in contact with other users of this software and also to be informed on any news regarding this software.

umu-xacml-editor-users mailing list

This is a general discussion area for users of the UMU-XACML-Editor software. Here you will be able to post your comments, problems, feedback, etc. regarding this software.

umu-xacml-editor-announce mailing list

This is an announcement list pertaining to the UMU-XACML-Editor software. Here you will find information on new releases of our software, patches and so on. Only the core team of UMU-XACML-Editor software will post to this list.

If want to take a look to some of the other research designs and implementations we are also involved from the last few years and which are somehow related with XACML, here you have some links. Some more information is available at the web page of our research group.
