Most DoD Zero Trust programs do not stall on conditional user access because the identity provider cannot talk to the application. They stall because the program has not defined which user and group attributes matter, where those attributes originate, how fresh they must be, and how they drive an authorization decision across mission systems, contractors, coalition users, and DDIL environments. That is a practical implementation problem, not a theory problem. Under ATO pressu
