This document defines a number of changes and extensions to the Policy Core Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Schema [PCLS] based on the model extensions defined by the Policy Core Information Model (PCIM) Extensions [PCIM_EXT]. These changes and extensions consist of new LDAP object classes and attribute types [LDAP]. Some of the schema items defined in this document re- implement existing concepts in accordance with their new semantics introduced by [PCIM_EXT]. The other schema items implement new concepts, not covered by [PCLS]. This document updates RFC 3703 [PCLS].
In addition to the concepts defined by [PCIM_EXT], this document introduces two new classes: pcelsVendorVariableAuxClass and pcelsVendorValueAuxClass. These classes provide a standard extension mechanism for vendor-specific policy variables and policy values that have not been specifically modeled.
Within the context of this document, the term "PCELS" (Policy Core Extension LDAP Schema) is used to refer to the LDAP object class, attribute type definitions and the associated recommendations contained in this document.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [KEYWORDS].
2. Relationship to Other Policy Framework Documents
This document contains an LDAP schema mapping for the classes defined in the "Policy Core Information Model (PCIM) Extensions" [PCIM_EXT]. The LDAP schema defined in this document is an extension to the "Policy Core Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Schema" [PCLS], which defines the mapping of the "Policy Core Information Model -- Version 1 Specification" [PCIM] to an LDAP schema.
These three documents ([PCIM], [PCIM_EXT] and [PCLS]) are prerequisites for reading and understanding this document.
Other documents may subsequently be produced with mappings of the same model to other storage or transport technologies.
The object class and attribute type names defined in this document are prefixed 'pcels'.
The diagram below illustrates the combined class hierarchy for the LDAP object classes defined in the following documents:
- The class names prefixed 'pcels' are defined in this document. - The class names prefixed 'pcim' are defined in [PCLS]. - The class names prefixed 'dlm1' are defined in [CIM_LDAP]. - The class named 'top' is defined in [LDAP_SCHEMA].
All the new object classes except for pcelsVendorVariableAuxClass and pcelsVendorValueAuxClass, are mapped from concepts defined or modified by [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsVendorVariableAuxClass and pcelsVendorValueAuxClass classes are not mapped from [PCIM_EXT]. They represent concepts introduced in this document.

4. General Discussion of Mapping the Policy Core Information Model Extensions to LDAP
The object classes described in this document contain certain optimizations for a directory that uses LDAP as its access protocol. An example is the use of auxiliary class attachment to LDAP entries for the realization of some of the associations defined in the information model. For instance, the aggregation of a specific SimplePolicyCondition to a reusable PolicyRule [PCIM_EXT] may be realized by attaching a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass to a pcelsRuleInstance entry.
Note that other data stores might need to implement the associations differently.
Figure 2. Mapping of Information Model Extension Classes to LDAP
The pcelsVendorVariableAuxClass and pcelsVendorValueAuxClass classes are not mapped from [PCIM_EXT]. These classes are introduced in this document as a new extension mechanism for vendor-specific policy variables and values that have not been specifically modeled. Just like for any other schema elements defined in this document or in
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
[PCLS], a particular submodel schema generally will not need to use vendor specific variable and value classes. Submodel schemas SHOULD apply the recommendations of section 5.10 of [PCIM_EXT] with regards to the supported and unsupported elements.
The associations in the information model map to one or more of the following options:
1. Attributes that reference DNs (Distinguished Names) 2. Directory Information Tree (DIT) containment (i.e., superior-subordinate relationships) in LDAP 3. Auxiliary class attachment 4. Association object classes and attributes that reference DNs
The details of this mapping are discussed case by case in section 5.

Figure 3. Mapping of Information Model Extension Associations to LDAP
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Two [PCIM_EXT] associations are mapped to DIT containment:
- PolicyRoleCollectionInSystem is a weak association and weak associations map well to DIT containment [CIM_LDAP] (without being limited to this mapping). In the absence of additional constraints, DIT containment is chosen here as the optimal association mapping.
- ReusablePolicy is mapped to DIT containment for scalability reasons. It is expected that applications will associate a large number of policy instances to a ReusablePolicyContainer and DIT containment is a type of association that scales well.
This section provides an overview of the changes relative to [PCLS] defined in this document:
1. The concept of a set of policies is introduced by two new object classes: pcelsPolicySet and pcelsPolicySetAssociation. These classes enable the aggregation and relative prioritization of policies (rules and/or groups). The attribute pcelsPriority is used by pcelsPolicySetAssociation instances to indicate the priority of a policy relative to the other policies aggregated by the same set. Applications may use this attribute to apply appropriate ordering to the aggregated policies. This new policy aggregation mechanism provides an alternative to the aggregation mechanism defined by [PCLS] (that defines pcimRuleContainmentAuxClass and/or pcimGroupContainmentAuxClass for attaching components to a pcimGroup).
2. The attribute pcimRoles defined by [PCLS] is used here by the pcelsPolicySet object class. Thus, the role based policy selection mechanism is extended to all the subclasses of pcelsPolicySet.
3. A new attribute pcelsDecisionStrategy is added on the pcelsPolicySet class as a mapping from the decision mechanism.
4. A new class pcelsGroup (with two subclasses), implements the modified semantics of the PolicyGroup in accordance with [PCIM_EXT]. This new class inherits from its superclass pcelsPolicySet the ability to aggregate (with relative priority) other policy rules or groups.
5. A new class pcelsRule (with two subclasses), implements the modified semantics of the PolicyRule in accordance with [PCIM_EXT]. It does not include an absolute priority attribute,
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
but instances of non-abstract subclasses of pcelsRule can be prioritized relative to each other within a System (behavior inherited from its superclass: pcelsPolicySet). The pcelsRule class also inherits from pcelsPolicySet the ability to aggregate other policy rules or groups, and thus, the ability to construct nested rule structures of arbitrary complexity.
6. A new attribute pcelsExecutionStrategy is added to the pcelsRule and pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass classes to allow the specification of the expected behavior in case of multiple actions aggregated by a rule or by a compound action.
7. Compound Conditions: The pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass class is added in order to map the CompoundPolicyCondition class. A new class, pcelsConditionAssociation is used to aggregate policy conditions in a pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass. The same class is also used to aggregate policy conditions in a pcelsRule.
8. Compound Actions: The pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass class is added in order to map the CompoundPolicyAction class. A new class, pcelsActionAssociation is used to aggregate policy actions in a pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass. The same class is also used to aggregate policy actions in a pcelsRule.
9. Simple Conditions, Simple Actions, Variables and Values: The simple condition, simple action, variable and value classes defined by [PCIM_EXT] are directly mapped to LDAP object classes. These are: pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass, pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass, pcelsVariable and its subclasses, and pcelsValueAuxClass and its subclasses.
10. A general extension mechanism is introduced for representing policy variables and values that have not been specifically modeled. The mechanism is intended for vendor-specific extensions.
11. Reusable Policy Repository: A new class (with two subclasses), pcelsReusableContainer is created as a subclass of pcimRepository. While maintaining compatibility with older [PCLS] implementations, the addition of this class acknowledges the intent of [PCIM_EXT] to avoid the potential for confusion with the Policy Framework component named Policy Repository. The new class enables many-to-many associations between reusable policy containers.
12. The ReusablePolicy association defined in [PCIM_EXT] is realized through subordination to an instance of a non-abstract subclass of pcelsReusableContainer. Thus, reusable policy components
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
(groups, rules, conditions, actions, variables and values) may be defined as stand-alone entries or stand-alone groups of related entries subordinated (DIT contained) to a pcelsReusableContainer.
13. Device level filter classes are added to the schema.
14. The pcelsRoleCollection class is added to the schema to allow the association of policy roles to resources represented as LDAP entries.
Several [PCLS] classes are used in this document to derive other classes. If a PCELS application requires a functionality provided by any of derived classes, then the [PCLS] class MUST also be supported by PCELS implementations. These classes are:
Other [PCLS] classes are neither derived to nor superseded by classes defined in this document. If a PCELS application requires a functionality provided by any of these classes, then the [PCLS] class SHOULD be used. These classes are:
Among the classes defined in this document some implement concepts that supersede the concepts implemented by similar [PCLS] classes. PCELS implementations MAY support such [PCLS] classes. These classes are:
pcimGroup and its subclasses pcimRule and its subclasses pcimGroupContainmentAuxClass pcimRuleContainmentAuxClass the subclasses of pcimRepository
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
4.5. Impact on Existing Implementations of the Policy Core LDAP Schema
In general, the intent of PCELS is to extend the functionality offered by the Policy Core LDAP Schema. For the most part, the compatibility with [PCLS] is preserved. The few cases in which compatibility cannot be achieved due to fundamental changes imposed by [PCIM_EXT], are defined here as alternatives to the original implementation.
PCELS does not obsolete nor deprecate the concepts implemented by [PCLS]. The new LDAP schema items are defined in this document in a way that avoids, to the extent possible, interference with the normal operation of a reasonably well-executed implementation of [PCLS]. The intent is to permit at least a harmless coexistence of the two models in the same data repository.
However, it should be noted that the PCELS introduces the following changes that may have an impact on some [PCLS] implementations:
1. Some attributes originally used only by pcimRule or pcimGroup are now also used by classes unknown to [PCLS] implementations (pcelsPolicySet, pcelsRule and pcelsGroup). In particular, the attribute pcimRoles is also used by pcelsPolicySet for role based policy selection.
2. Condition and action association classes originally used by only pcimRule are now used (through subclasses) by pcelsRule as well.
3. pcimRepository containers may include entries of types unknown to [PCLS] implementations.
When the choice exists, PCELS implementations SHOULD support the new schema and MAY also support the one defined by [PCLS]. For example, if PolicyRule support is required, an implementation SHOULD be able to read or read-write (as applicable) pcelsRule entries. The same implementation MAY be able to read or read-write pcimRule.
4.6. The Association of PolicyVariable and PolicyValues to PolicySimpleCondition and PolicySimpleAction
A PolicySimpleCondition, as well as a PolicySimpleAction, includes a single PolicyValue and a single PolicyVariable. Each of them can be attached or referenced by a DN.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 16]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
The attachment helps create compact PolicyCondition and PolicyAction definitions that can be efficiently provisioned and retrieved from the repository. On the other hand, referenced PolicyVariables and PolicyValues instances can be reused in the construction of multiple policies and permit an administrative partitioning of the data and policy definitions.
4.7. The Aggregation of PolicyRules and PolicyGroups in PolicySets
In [PCIM_EXT], the two aggregations PolicyGroupInPolicyGroup and PolicyRuleInPolicyGroup, are combined into a single aggregation PolicySetComponent. This aggregation and the capability of association between a policy and the ReusablePolicyContainer offer new possibilities of reusability. Furthermore, these aggregations introduce new semantics representing the execution of one PolicyRule within the scope of another PolicyRule.
Since PolicySet is defined in [PCIM_EXT], it is mapped in this document to a new class pcelsPolicySet in order to provide an abstraction for a set of policy rules or groups. The aggregation class PolicySetComponent in [PCIM_EXT] is mapped to a multi-value attribute pcelsPolicySetList in the pcelsPolicySet class and the attribute pcelsPolicySetDN in the pcelsPolicySetAssociation. These attributes refer to the nested rules and groups.
It is possible to store a rule/group nested in another rule/group in two ways. The first way is to define the nested rule/group as specific to the nesting rule/group. The second way is to define the nested rules/groups as reusable.
The nesting pcelsPolicySet refers to instances of pcelsPolicySetAssociation using the attribute pcelsPolicySetList. These structural association classes are subordinated (DIT contained) to an instance of a non-abstract subclass of pcelsPolicySet and represent the association between the PolicySet and its nested rules/groups. The nested instances of auxiliary subclasses of pcelsPolicySet are attached to the association entries.
The nesting pcelsPolicySet refers to instances of pcelsPolicySetAssociation using the attribute pcelsPolicySetList. These structural association classes are subordinated (DIT contained) to an instance of a non-abstract subclass of pcelsPolicySet and represent the association between the PolicySet and its nested rules/groups. The reusable rules/groups are instantiated here as auxiliary classes and attached to pcimPolicyInstance entries in the reusable container. Another option is to use the structural subclasses for defining reusable rules/groups. The association classes belonging to a nesting policy set are reference the reusable rules/groups using the attribute pcelsPolicySetDN.
A combination of both specific and reusable components is also allowed for the same policy set.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
4.8. The Aggregation of Actions/Conditions in PolicyRules and CompoundActions/CompoundConditions
[PCIM_EXT] defines two new classes that allow the designer to create more complex conditions and actions. CompoundPolicyCondition and CompoundPolicyAction classes are mapped in this document to pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass and pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass classes that are subclasses of pcimConditionAuxClass/pcimActionAuxClass. The compound conditions/actions defined in [PCIM_EXT] extend the capability of the rule to associate, group and evaluate conditions or execute actions. The conditions/actions are associated to compounds conditions/actions in the same way as they are associated to the rules.
In this section, how to store instances of these classes in an LDAP Directory is explained. As a general rule, specific conditions/actions are subordinated (DIT contained) to the rule or compound condition/action that aggregates them and are attached to association class instances. Reusable conditions/actions are subordinated to pcelsReusableContainer instances and attached to pcimPolicyInstance instances.
The examples below illustrate the four possible cases combining specific/reusable compound/non-compound condition/action. The rule has two compound conditions, each one has two different conditions. The schemes can be extended in order to store actions.
The examples below are based on and extend those illustrated in the section 4.4 of [PCLS].
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 20]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
First case: Specific compound condition/action with specific conditions/actions.
Figure 6. Specific Compound Conditions with Specific Components
Because the compound conditions/actions are specific to the Rule, They are auxiliary attachments to instances of the structural classes pcelsConditionAssociation or pcelsActionAssociation. These structural classes represent the association between the rule and the compound condition/action. The rule specific conditions/actions are therefore subordinated (DIT contained) to the rule entry.
The conditions/actions are tied to the compound conditions/actions in the same way the compound conditions/actions are tied to rules. Association classes realize the association between the aggregating compound conditions/actions and the specific conditions/actions.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 21]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Second case: Rule specific compound conditions/actions with reusable conditions/actions.
#: Number. CA#: pcelsConditionAssociation structural class. cc#: pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass auxiliary class. c#: subclass of pcimConditionAuxClass. S#: structural class
Figure 7. Specific Compound Conditions with Reusable Components
This case is similar to the first one. The conditions/actions are reusable and are therefore not attached to the association classes, but rather to structural classes in the reusable container. The association classes tie the conditions/actions in located in a reusable container to their aggregators using DN references.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 22]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Third case: Reusable compound condition/action with specific conditions/actions.
#: Number. CA#: pcelsConditionAssociation structural class. cc#: pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass auxiliary class. c#: subclass of pcimConditionAuxClass. S#: structural class
Figure 8. Reusable Compound Conditions with Specific Components
Re-usable compound conditions/actions are attached to structural classes and stored in a reusable policy container. They are related to the rule through a DN reference attribute in the association classes.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 23]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Specific conditions/actions are attached to association entries and subordinated (DIT contained) to the aggregating compound conditions/actions.
Fourth case: Reusable conditions/actions and compound conditions/actions.
c#: subclass of pcimConditionAuxClass. S#: structural class
Figure 9. Reusable Compound Conditions with Reusable Components
All the conditions/actions are reusable so they are stored in reusable containers. The figure above illustrates two different reusable policy containers, but the number of containers in the system is decided based on administrative reasons. The conditions, actions, etc. may be stored in the same or different containers with no impact on the policy definition semantics.
The semantics for the policy information classes that are to be mapped directly from the information model to an LDAP representation are detailed in [PCIM_EXT]. Consequently, this document presents only a brief reference to those semantics. The focus here is on the mapping from the information model (which is independent of repository type and access protocol) to a form that can be accessed using LDAP. For various reasons including LDAP specific optimization, this mapping is not always 1:1. Some new classes and attributes (that were not part of [PCIM] or [PCIM_EXT]) needed to be created in order to implement the LDAP mapping. These new LDAP-only classes are fully defined in this document.
The following notes apply to this section in its entirety.
Note 1: The formal language for specifying the classes, attributes, and DIT structure and content rules is that defined in [LDAP_SYNTAX]. In the following definitions, the class and attribute definitions follow [LDAP_SYNTAX] but they are line-wrapped to enhance human readability.
Note 2: Even though not explicitly noted in the following class and attribute definitions, implementations may define DIT structure and content rules where applicable and supported by the underlying LDAP infrastructure. In such cases, the DIT structure rule considerations discussed in section 5 of [PCLS] must be applied to PCELS implementations as well. The reasons and details are presented in [X.501].
Note 3: Wherever possible, an equality, a substrings and an ordering matching rule are defined for a particular attribute. This provides additional implementation flexibility. However, in some cases, the LDAP matching semantics may not cover all the application needs. For instance, different values of pcelsIPv4AddrList may be semantically equivalent. The equality matching rule, caseIgnoreMatch, associated
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 25]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
to this attribute type is not suitable for detecting this equivalence. Implementers should not rely solely on LDAP syntaxes and matching rules for being consistent with this specification.
Note 4: The following attribute definitions use only LDAP matching rules and syntax definitions from [LDAP_SYNTAX], [LDAP_SCHEMA] and [LDAP_MATCH]. The corresponding X.500 matching rules are defined in [X.520].
Note 5: Some of the following attribute types MUST conform to additional constraints on various data types (e.g., the only valid values for pcelsDecisionStrategy are 1 and 2). Just like the attribute semantics, the definition of the value structures, valid ranges, etc. is covered by [PCIM_EXT] for the corresponding properties while such constraints are only briefly mentioned in this document. In all cases, if a constraint is violated, the entry SHOULD be treated as invalid and the policy rules or groups that refer to it SHOULD be treated as being disabled, meaning that the execution of such policy rules or groups SHOULD be stopped.
Note 6: Some of the object classes defined in this section cannot or should not be directly instantiated because they are either defined as abstract or do not implement stand-alone semantics (e.g., pcelsValueAuxClass). Regarding instances of objects that inherit from such classes, the text refers to "instances of <class_name>" when in fact the strictly correct expression would be "instances of objects that belong to non-abstract subclasses of <class_name>". The omission is intentional; it makes the text easier to read.
The pcelsPolicySet class represents a set of policies with a common decision strategy and a common set of policy roles. This class together with the pcelsPolicySetAssociation class defined in a subsequent section of this document provide sufficient information to allow applications to apply appropriate ordering to a set of policies. The pcelsPolicySet is mapped from the PolicySet class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsPolicySet class is an abstract object class and it is derived from the pcimPolicy class [PCLS].
The pcelsPolicySetList attribute of a pcelsPolicySet instance references subordinated pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries. The aggregated pcelsPolicySet instances are either attached to the pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries as auxiliary object classes or referenced by the pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries using the pcelsPolicySetDN attribute.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 26]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
The pcelsPolicySet class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.1 NAME 'pcelsPolicySet' DESC 'Set of policies' SUP pcimPolicy ABSTRACT MAY ( pcelsPolicySetName $ pcelsDecisionStrategy $ pcimRoles $ pcelsPolicySetList ) )
One of the attributes of the pcelsPolicySet class, pcimRoles is defined in the section 5.3 of [PCLS]. In the pcelsPolicySet class the pcimRole attribute preserves its syntax and semantics as defined by [PCLS] and [PCIM].
The pcelsPolicySetName attribute type may be used as naming attribute for pcelsPolicySet entries. This attribute type is of syntax Directory String [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of caseIgnoreMatch, an ordering matching rule of caseIgnoreOrderingMatch and a substrings matching rule of caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX]. Attributes of this type can only have a single value.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.1 NAME 'pcelsPolicySetName' DESC 'User-friendly name of a policy set' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch ORDERING caseIgnoreOrderingMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 SINGLE-VALUE )
The pcelsDecisionStrategy attribute type indicates the evaluation method for the policies aggregated in the policy set. It is mapped from the PolicySet.PolicyDecisionStrategy property [PCIM_EXT]. This attribute type is of syntax Integer [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of integerMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX] and an ordering matching rule of integerOrderingMatch [LDAP_MATCH]. Attributes of this type can only have a single value. The only allowed values for attributes of this type are 1 (FirstMatching) and 2 (AllMatching). If this attribute is missing from a pcelsPolicySet instance, applications MUST assume a FirstMatching decision strategy for the policy set.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 27]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.2 NAME 'pcelsDecisionStrategy' DESC 'Evaluation method for the components of a pcelsPolicySet' EQUALITY integerMatch ORDERING integerOrderingMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE )
The pcelsPolicySetList attribute type is used in the realization of the PolicySetComponent association [PCIM_EXT]. This attribute type is of syntax DN [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of distinguishedNameMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX]. Attributes of this type can have multiple values. The only allowed values for pcelsPolicySetList attributes are DNs of pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries. In a pcelsPolicySet, the pcelsPolicySetList attribute represents the associations between this policy set and its components.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.3 NAME 'pcelsPolicySetList' DESC 'Unordered set of DNs of pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 )
Note: A pcelsPolicySet instance aggregates other pcelsPolicySet instances using pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries (defined in the next section). Applications can sort the components of a pcelsPolicySet using attributes of the pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries. However, implementations should not expect the LDAP data store to provide a useful ordering of the pcelsPolicySetList values in a pcelsPolicySet instance or to return sets of matching pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries in a meaningful order. Instead, applications SHOULD implement their own means for post-retrieval ordering of policy rules/groups based on pcelsPolicySetAssociation.pcelsPriority values.

The pcelsPolicySetAssociation class is used to associate PolicySet instances [PCIM_EXT] to other entries. pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries are always subordinated to the aggregating entry. When subordinated to an instance of pcelsPolicySet, pcelsPolicySetAssociation realizes a PolicySetComponent association [PCIM_EXT]. When subordinated to an instance of dlm1System [CIM_LDAP], pcelsPolicySetAssociation realizes a PolicySetInSystem association [PCIM_EXT].
The pcelsPolicySetAssociation class is a structural object class and it is derived from the pcimPolicy class [PCLS].
The aggregation of a reusable pcelsPolicySet instance is realized via the pcelsPolicySetDN attribute. A non-reusable pcelsPolicySet instance is attached (as auxiliary subclass of pcelsPolicySet) directly to the pcelsPolicySetAssociation entry.
When reading a pcelsPolicySetAssociation instance that has a pcelsPolicySet attached, the attribute pcelsPolicySetDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcelsPolicySetDN value from a pcelsPolicySetAssociation upon attachment of a pcelsPolicySet to the entry.
The pcelsPolicySetAssociation class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.2 NAME 'pcelsPolicySetAssociation' DESC 'Associates a policy set to an aggregating entry' SUP pcimPolicy STRUCTURAL MUST ( pcelsPriority ) MAY ( pcelsPolicySetName $ pcelsPolicySetDN ) )
The pcelsPriority attribute type indicates the priority of a policy set component. This attribute type is of syntax Integer [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of integerMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX] and an ordering matching rule of integerOrderingMatch [LDAP_MATCH]. Attributes of this type can only have single values. The only allowed values for attributes of this type are non-negative integers. Within the set of pcelsPolicySetAssociation entries directly subordinated to a pcelsPolicySet or a dlm1System [CIM_LDAP], the pcelsPriority values MUST be unique.

The pcelsPolicySetDN attribute type is used in the aggregation of PolicySet instances [PCIM_EXT]. This attribute type is of syntax DN [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of distinguishedNameMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX]. Attributes of this type can only have single values. The only allowed values for pcelsPolicySetDN attributes are DNs of pcelsPolicySet entries.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.5 NAME 'pcelsPolicySetDN' DESC 'DN of a pcelsPolicySet entry' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 SINGLE-VALUE )
The pcelsGroup class is the base class for representing a policy group. It is mapped from the modified PolicyGroup class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsGroup class is derived from the pcelsPolicySet class. To maximize flexibility, the pcelsGroup class is defined as abstract. An auxiliary subclass pcelsGroupAuxClass enables the attachment of a policy group to an existing entry, while a structural subclass pcelsGroupInstance permits the representation of a policy group as a standalone entry.
The pcelsGroup class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.3 NAME 'pcelsGroup' DESC 'Base class for representing a policy group' SUP pcelsPolicySet ABSTRACT MAY ( pcimGroupName ) )
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 30]

The pcelsGroupAuxClass class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.4 NAME 'pcelsGroupAuxClass' DESC 'Auxiliary class for representing a policy group' SUP pcelsGroup AUXILIARY )
The pcelsGroupInstance class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.5 NAME 'pcelsGroupInstance' DESC 'Structural class for representing a policy group' SUP pcelsGroup STRUCTURAL )
The pcimGroupName attribute type used by the pcelsGroup class is defined in the section 5.2 of [PCLS]. In the pcelsGroup object class, this attribute preserves its syntax and semantics as defined by [PCLS] and [PCIM].
Note: PCELS implementations SHOULD support pcelsGroup and its two subclasses and MAY also support pcimGroup and its two subclasses [PCLS]. Applications that choose to support pcelsGroup and its two subclasses MUST use the aggregation mechanism provided by pcelsPolicySetAssociation for aggregating policy groups or policy rules in policy groups represented as instances of pcelsGroup.
The pcelsRule class is the base class for representing a policy rule. It is mapped from the modified PolicyRule class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsRule class is derived from the pcelsPolicySet class. To maximize flexibility, the pcelsRule class is defined as abstract. An auxiliary subclass pcelsRuleAuxClass enables the attachment of a policy rule to an existing entry, while a structural subclass pcelsRuleInstance permits the representation of a policy rule as a standalone entry.
When reading a pcelsRule instance that has a pcimConditionAuxClass attached, from the policy rule perspective the attribute pcelsConditionList MUST be ignored. For example, if present, the attribute MUST NOT be considered an association between this policy rule and a policy condition. Such situations may occur, for example, when a pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass is attached to a pcelsRule instance.
Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 31]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
When reading a pcelsRule instance that has a pcimActionAuxClass attached, from the policy rule perspective the attribute pcelsActionList MUST be ignored. For example, if present, the attribute MUST NOT be considered an association between this policy rule and a policy action. Such situations may occur, for example, when a pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass is attached to a pcelsRule instance.
The pcelsRule class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.6 NAME 'pcelsRule' DESC 'Base class for representing a policy rule' SUP pcelsPolicySet ABSTRACT MAY ( pcimRuleName $ pcimRuleEnabled $ pcimRuleUsage $ pcimRuleMandatory $ pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList $ pcelsConditionListType $ pcelsConditionList $ pcelsActionList $ pcelsSequencedActions $ pcelsExecutionStrategy ) )

Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 32]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Four of the attributes used by the pcelsRule class are defined in the section 5.3 of [PCLS]. These attributes are: pcimRuleName, pcimRuleEnabled, pcimRuleUsage and pcimRuleMandatory. In the pcelsRule object class, these attributes preserve their syntax and semantics as defined by [PCLS] and [PCIM].
The attributes pcimRuleValidityPeriodList, pcimRuleConditionListType, pcimRuleConditionList, pcimRuleActionList and pcimRuleSequencedActions defined in [PCLS] are not used by pcelsRule. Instead, this class uses the new attributes pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList, pcelsConditionListType, pcelsConditionList, pcelsActionList and pcelsSequencedActions. Except for pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList, the new attributes are also used for similar purpose by either pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass or pcelsCompoundActionAuxClass.
The pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList attribute type is used in the realization of the PolicyRuleValidityPeriod association ([PCIM_EXT] and [PCIM]). This attribute type is of syntax DN [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of distinguishedNameMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX]. Attributes of this type can have multiple values. The only allowed values for pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList attributes are DNs of pcimRuleValidityAssociation entries. In a pcelsRule, the pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList attribute represents the associations between this policy rule and its time period conditions.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.62 NAME 'pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList' DESC 'Unordered set of DNs of pcimRuleValidityAssociation entries' EQUALITY distinguishedNameMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.12 )
The pcelsConditionListType attribute type indicates whether the set of aggregated conditions is in disjunctive or conjunctive normal form. It is mapped from the PolicyRule.ConditionListType property [PCIM] (identical to the CompoundPolicyCondition.ConditionListType property defined in [PCIM_EXT]). This attribute type is of syntax Integer [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of integerMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX] and an ordering matching rule of integerOrderingMatch [LDAP_MATCH]. Attributes of this type can only have a single value. The only allowed values for attributes of this type are 1 (Disjunctive) and 2 (Conjunctive). If this attribute is missing from a pcelsRule instance, applications MUST assume that the set of aggregated conditions is in disjunctive normal form.

This attribute type is of syntax Integer [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of integerMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX] and an ordering matching rule of integerOrderingMatch [LDAP_MATCH]. Attributes of this type can only have a single value. The only allowed values for attributes of this type are 1 (Mandatory), 2 (Recommended) and 3 (DontCare). If this attribute is missing from a pcelsRule instance, applications MUST assume that the ordered execution of actions in this rule is not important (DontCare).

RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Note 1: Rule validity periods for an instance of pcelsRule are realized using the attribute pcelsRuleValidityPeriodList and pcimRuleValidityAssociation [PCLS] entries subordinated to the rule.
If DIT structure rules and name forms are written for a PCELS implementation (as suggested in section 5.5 of [PCLS]), they would require that an instance of the pcimRuleValidityAssociation class have as its superior an instance of the pcelsRule class or, if applicable, an instance of the pcimRule class. Any structure rules and name forms that require an instance of the pcimRuleValidityAssociation class to have as its superior only an instance of the pcimRule class, are in conflict and MUST be removed.
Note 2: PCELS implementations SHOULD support pcelsRule and its two subclasses and MAY also support pcimRule and its two subclasses [PCLS]. Applications that choose to support pcelsRule and its two subclasses MUST use the aggregation mechanism provided by pcelsPolicySetAssociation for aggregating policy groups or policy rules in policy rules represented as instances of pcelsRule.
5.5. The Structural Class pcelsConditionAssociation
The pcelsConditionAssociation class is used in the aggregation of PolicyCondition instances [PCIM]. pcelsConditionAssociation entries are always subordinated to the aggregating entry. When subordinated to an instance of pcelsRule, the pcelsConditionAssociation entry realizes the PolicyConditionInPolicyRule association [PCIM_EXT]. When subordinated to an instance of pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass, the pcelsConditionAssociation entry realizes the PolicyConditionInPolicyCondition association [PCIM_EXT].
The pcelsConditionAssociation class is a structural object class and it is derived from the pcimRuleConditionAssociation class [PCLS].
The aggregation of a reusable instance of pcimConditionAuxClass is realized via the pcimConditionDN attribute. A non-reusable instance of pcimConditionAuxClass is attached directly to the pcelsConditionAssociation entry.
When reading a pcelsConditionAssociation entry that has a pcimConditionAuxClass instance attached, the attribute pcimConditionDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcimConditionDN value from a pcelsConditionAssociation upon attachment of a pcimConditionAuxClass to the entry.

5.7. The Auxiliary Class pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass
The pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass class implements a Value matching condition for a Variable. It is mapped from the SimplePolicyCondition class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass class is an auxiliary object class and it is derived from the pcimConditionAuxClass class [PCLS].
A reusable variable/value is associated to a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass via the pcelsVariableDN/pcelsValueDN reference from the simple condition instance. A non-reusable variable/value is associated directly as auxiliary object class to the same entry as the pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass instance.
When reading a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass instance that has an instance of pcelsVariable attached, the attribute pcelsVariableDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcelsVariableDN value from a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass instance upon attachment of a pcelsVariable instance to the same entry.
When reading a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass instance that has an instance of pcelsValue attached, the attribute pcelsValueDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcelsValueDN value from a pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass instance upon attachment of a pcelsValue instance to the same entry.
The pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.11 NAME 'pcelsSimpleConditionAuxClass' DESC 'Value matching condition for a policy variable' SUP pcimConditionAuxClass AUXILIARY MAY ( pcelsVariableDN $ pcelsValueDN ) )

If the pcelsConditionListType attribute is missing from a pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass instance, applications MUST assume that the set of aggregated conditions is in disjunctive normal form.
In a pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass instance, the pcelsConditionList attribute represents the associations between this compound policy condition and the compounded conditions.
Like pcelsRule, instances of pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass use pcelsConditionList values and subordinated pcelsConditionAssociation entries to aggregate policy conditions.
5.9. The Auxiliary Class pcelsCompoundFilterConditionAuxClass
The pcelsCompoundFilterConditionAuxClass class represents a domain- level filter. It is mapped from the CompoundFilterCondition class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsCompoundFilterConditionAuxClass class is an auxiliary object class and it is derived from the pcelsCompoundConditionAuxClass class.

Pana, et al. Standards Track [Page 40]
RFC 4104 PCELS June 2005
Attributes of this type can only have a single value. If this attribute is missing from a pcelsCompoundFilterConditionAuxClass instance, applications MUST assume that the filter is not mirrored.
This attribute type is defined as follows:

The pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass class implements the action of assigning a Value to a Variable. It is mapped from the SimplePolicyAction class [PCIM_EXT]. The pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass class is an auxiliary object class and it is derived from the pcimActionAuxClass class [PCLS].
A reusable variable/value is associated to a pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass via the pcelsVariableDN/pcelsValueDN reference from the simple action instance. A non-reusable variable/value is associated directly as auxiliary object class to the same entry as the pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass instance.
When reading a pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass instance that has an instance of pcelsVariable attached, the attribute pcelsVariableDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcelsVariableDN value from a pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass instance upon attachment of a pcelsVariable instance to the same entry.
When reading a pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass instance that has an instance of pcelsValue attached, the attribute pcelsValueDN MUST be ignored. Applications SHOULD remove the pcelsValueDN value from a pcelsSimpleActionAuxClass instance upon attachment of a pcelsValue instance to the same entry.

The pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass class does not represent actual variables; these are introduced by its subclasses. pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass introduces the semantics of being an implicitly defined policy variable and these semantics are inherited by all its subclasses. These semantics include those inherited from pcelsVariable that possibly represent either rule-specific or reusable policy variables.
In order to preserve the ability to represent rule-specific or reusable variables, all the subclasses of pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass MUST also be auxiliary classes.
The pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass class is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.1.18 NAME 'pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass' DESC 'Implicitly defined policy variable' SUP pcelsVariable AUXILIARY MAY ( pcelsExpectedValueTypes ) )
The pcelsExpectedValueTypes attribute type represents the set of policy value types that may be used with this policy variable. It is mapped from the PolicyImplicitVariable.ValueTypes property [PCIM_EXT]. This attribute type is of syntax Directory String [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of caseIgnoreMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX]. Attributes of this type can have multiple values.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.18 NAME 'pcelsExpectedValueTypes' DESC 'Identifies subclasses of pcelsValueAuxClass by name' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 )

5.15. The Subclasses of pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass
The following classes are derived from the pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass class. They are mapped from the corresponding subclasses of the PolicyImplicitVariable class [PCIM_EXT]. All the classes defined below are auxiliary object classes.
Each one of the classes defined in this section introduces specific restrictions for the values of the pcelsExpectedValueTypes attribute. If this attribute is missing, applications MUST assume that all allowed value types are expected for the policy variable.
Some of these classes have additional restrictions on the actual values of the associated policy value instances (e.g., only integers in the range 0..65535 must be used with a SourcePort variable). The association between a pcelsImplicitVariableAuxClass instance and a pcelsValueAuxClass instance that contains values outside the valid range or set for that variable SHOULD be considered invalid. The entry that realizes such association SHOULD be treated as invalid and the policy rules or groups that refer to it SHOULD be treated as being disabled, meaning that the execution of such policy rules or groups SHOULD be stopped.

Attributes of this type can only have a single value. If this attribute is missing from a pcelsFilterEntryBase instance, applications MUST assume that the filter is not negated.
This attribute type is defined as follows:
( 1.3.6.1.1.9.2.33 NAME 'pcelsFilterIsNegated' DESC 'Indicates whether the filter is negated' EQUALITY booleanMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.7 SINGLE-VALUE )
The pcelsIPHeadersFilter class provides the most commonly required attributes for performing filtering on IP, TCP or UDP headers. It is mapped from the IpHeadersFilter class [PCIM_EXT]. It is a structural object class derived from the pcelsFilterEntryBase class.
The pcelsIPHeadersFilter class is defined as follows:
Applications MUST assume 'all values' for optional (MAY) attributes not present in a pcelsIPHeadersFilter entry.
[PCIM_EXT] defines several constraints for the IpHeadersFilter class and its properties. All these constraints (even those that, for brevity, are not reiterated in this document) apply to the pcelsIPHeadersFilter class and its attributes. A pcelsIPHeadersFilter entry that violates any of these constraints SHOULD be treated as invalid and the policy rules or groups associated to this entry SHOULD be treated as being disabled, meaning that the execution of such policy rules or groups SHOULD be stopped.
The pcelsIPHdrVersion attribute type indicates the version of the IP addresses to be filtered on. It is mapped from the IpHeadersFilter.HdrIpVersion property [PCIM_EXT]. This attribute type is of syntax Integer [LDAP_SYNTAX]. It has an equality matching rule of integerMatch [LDAP_SYNTAX] and an ordering matching rule of integerOrderingMatch [LDAP_MATCH]. Attributes of this type can only have a single value. The only allowed values for attributes of this type are 4 and 6.
In a pcelsIPHeadersFilter entry, the pcelsIPHdrVersion attribute type determines the size for the IP version dependent attribute values. These attributes are: pcelsIPHdrSourceAddress, pcelsIPHdrSourceAddressEndOfRange, pcelsIPHdrSourceMask, pcelsIPHdrDestAddress, pcelsIPHdrDestAddressEndOfRange and pcelsIPHdrDestMask. Their valid values are as follows: for IPv4: OctetStrings with a size of 4 for IPv6: OctetStrings with a size of 16 or 20
If the pcelsIPHdrVersion attribute is missing from a pcelsFilterEntryBase instance, then the filter does not consider IP version in selecting matching packets. In this case, the IP version dependent attributes (listed above) must not be present in the filter entry.
