General Information:
CIM_AuthenticationService verifies users'
identities through some means. These services are decomposed into a subclass
that provides credentials to users and a subclass that provides for the
verification of the validity of a credential and, perhaps, the appropriateness
of its use for access to target resources. The persistent state information used
from one such verification to another is maintained in an instance of Identity
class.

TimeOfLastStateChange
public datetime TimeOfLastStateChange
- General Information:
The date or time when the EnabledState of
the element last changed. If the state of the element has not changed and this
property is populated, then it must be set to a 0 interval value. If a state
change was requested, but rejected or not yet processed, the property must not
be updated.
EnabledDefault
public uint16 EnabledDefault
- General Information:
An enumerated value indicating an
administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an
element. By default, the element is "Enabled"
(value=2).

RequestedState
public uint16 RequestedState
- General Information:
RequestedState is an integer enumeration
that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element,
irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual state
of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to
compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that
when EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no
meaning. Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of
the values in the RequestedState enumeration.
"Unknown" (0) indicates the
last requested state for the element is unknown.
Note that the value "No
Change" (5) has been deprecated in lieu of indicating the last requested state
is "Unknown" (0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown,
RequestedState should have the value "Unknown" (0), but may have the value "No
Change" (5).Offline (6) indicates that the element has been requested to
transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
It should be noted
that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are "Reboot" (10) and "Reset" (11). Reboot refers to doing
a "Shut Down" and then moving to an "Enabled" state. Reset indicates that the
element is first "Disabled" and then "Enabled". The distinction between
requesting "Shut Down" and "Disabled" should also be noted. Shut Down requests
an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power,
to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an
immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not execute or accept
any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the
result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service),
or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method
approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an
explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.
If knowledge of the last RequestedState is not supported for the
EnabledLogicalElement, the property shall be NULL or have the value 12 "Not
Applicable".

EnabledState
public uint16 EnabledState
- General Information:
EnabledState is an integer enumeration that
indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate
the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down
(value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and
disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and
disabled states:
Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be
executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will
drop any new requests.
Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in
the process of going to a Disabled state.
Not Applicable (5) indicates the
element does not support being enabled or disabled.
Enabled but Offline
(6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any
new requests.
Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.
Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but
will queue any new requests.
Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is
enabled but in a restricted mode.
Starting (10) indicates that the element
is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are
queued.

HealthState
public uint16 HealthState
- General Information:
Indicates the current health of the
element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not
necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where
5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely
non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
"Non-recoverable
Error" (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible.
All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
"Critical
Failure" (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be
possible.
"Major Failure" (20) - The element is failing. It is possible
that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not
working.
"Minor Failure" (15) - All functionality is available but some
might be degraded.
"Degraded/Warning" (10) - The element is in working
order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working
to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating
at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
"OK"
(5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal
operational parameters and without error.
"Unknown" (0) - The
implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has
reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in
the future.

Status
public string Status
- General Information:
A string indicating the current status of
the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This
property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same
semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
1) Status
is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the
limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a
multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2)
A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was
defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and
did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into
the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the
existing property, but also permits an improved definition using
OperationalStatus.

OperationalStatus
public uint16[] OperationalStatus
- General Information:
Indicates the current statuses of the
element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's
values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in
more detail.
"Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but
needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and
so on.
"Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning
nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
"In Service"
describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise
administered.
"No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has
knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications
with it.
"Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is
known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is
currently unreachable.
"Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the
former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt
stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be
updated.
"Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
"Supporting Entity in Error" indicates that this element might be "OK" but
that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a
network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking
problems.
"Completed" indicates that the element has completed its
operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so
that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed),
Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation
finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
"Power
Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information
contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
"Relocating" indicates the element is being
relocated.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on
ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to
address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration
path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier
because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the
existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly
recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and
OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus
should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status
(because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the
element.

inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and
ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of

Requests that the state of the element be changed to the
value specified in the RequestedState parameter. When the requested state
change takes place, the EnabledState and RequestedState of the element will be
the same. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result
in earlier requests being overwritten or lost.
A return code of 0 shall

A return code of 3
shall indicate that the state transition cannot complete within the interval
specified by the TimeoutPeriod parameter.
A return code of 4096 (0x1000)

StartService
public uint32 StartService()
- Permission Information:
No permissions defined
General
Information:
The StartService method places the Service in the started
state. Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState
property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as
a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StartService method
should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an
integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully started, 1 if the request
is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass,
the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier
on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can
also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.
Note:
The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that
is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. This method is maintained because it
has been widely implemented, and its simple "start" semantics are convenient
to use.
StopService
public uint32 StopService()
- Permission Information:
No permissions defined
General
Information:
The StopService method places the Service in the stopped
state. Note that the function of this method overlaps with the RequestedState
property. RequestedState was added to the model to maintain a record (such as
a persisted value) of the last state request. Invoking the StopService method
should set the RequestedState property appropriately. The method returns an
integer value of 0 if the Service was successfully stopped, 1 if the request
is not supported, and any other number to indicate an error. In a subclass,
the set of possible return codes could be specified using a ValueMap qualifier
on the method. The strings to which the ValueMap contents are translated can
also be specified in the subclass as a Values array qualifier.
Note:
The semantics of this method overlap with the RequestStateChange method that
is inherited from EnabledLogicalElement. This method is maintained because it
has been widely implemented, and its simple "stop" semantics are convenient to
use.
