==== Introduction ====
  : //The eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) [XACML-3]
   defines an architecture and a language for [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:accesscontrol|access control]]
   ([[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:authorization| authorization]]).  The language consists of requests, responses, and
   policies.  Clients send a request to a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server|server]] to query whether a
   given action should be allowed.  The server evaluates the request
   against the available policies and returns a response.  The policies
   implement the organization's access control requirements.[[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7061]]//
