CONFIGURATION

X-CREATE need the access to a DB hosted on an instance of mySQL. Configure its access in the file:

• xcreate.properties

RUN IT

1. Add a set of given XACML policies in the DB on mySQL
   • the CLI will look for XML files in the folder specified as its only mandatory argument
   • the CLI will process all the files trying to add all the XACML policies. If a XACML policies is already present in the DB, it will be skipped.
   • the generation of random values is always enabled by the CLI
   • adding is performed by means of the profile addPolicies in the POM. Use the following command: mvn clean compile -P addPolicies exec:java -Dexec.args="/tmp/xacmlPolicies"
2. Generate the XACML reuqest for a given set of XACML policies already loaded in the DB
   • the CLI will look for XML files in the folder specified as its only mandatory argument
   • the CLI will process all the files in the given directory. If a XACML policies is not present in the DB, it will be skipped.
   • the results will be stored in the forlder Temp_X-CREATE by policy
   • the generated requests may result overwitten across several executions (if a policy with a given name has been already processed)
   • only one strategy is accesiible from the CLI: Multiple Combinatorial
   • generation is performed by means of the profile generateRequests in the POM. Use a command like the following one: mvn clean compile -P generateRequests exec:java -Dexec.args="/tmp/xacmlPolicies"
3. Delete a XACML policy from the DB
