Class CIM_Credential

CIM_ManagedElement
   extended by CIM_Credential

Known Subclasses:
AMT_ProvisioningCertificateHash CIM_SharedCredential AMT_MPSUsernamePassword AMT_PublicPrivateKeyPair AMT_PublicKeyCertificate

Abstract class CIM_Credential
extends CIM_ManagedElement

General Information:
Subclasses of CIM_Credential define materials, information or other data which are used to establish identity. Generally, there may be some shared information, or credential material which is used to identify and authenticate an entity in the process of gaining access to, or permission to use, resources. Such credential material may be used to authenticate an entity's identity initially, as done by a CIM_AuthenticationService, and additionally on an ongoing basis (for example, during the course of a connection or other security association), as proof that each received message or communication came from a valid 'user' of that credential material.

Field Detail

ElementName

public string ElementName
General Information:
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without 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 CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class.

Description

public string Description
General Information:
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

Qualifiers:

MaxLen=256


Caption

public string Caption
General Information:
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.

Qualifiers:
-------------
MaxLen=64


Issued

public datetime Issued
General Information:
The date and time when the credential was issued. Use a value of all '00000101000000.000000+000', (midnight, January 1, 1 BCE at coordinated universal time +0 minutes), if this information is not applicable. On CreateInstance, if this property is unspecified, or set to NULL, then current time is assumed.


Expires

public datetime Expires
General Information:
The date and time when the credential expires (and is not appropriate for use for authentication/ authorization). If this information is not applicable, Use a value of '99991231235959.999999+999', (1 microsecond before midnight, December 31, 9999 CE, at coordinated universal time + 999 minutes).
On CreateInstance, if this property is unspecified, or set to NULL, then a value of '99991231235959.999999+999' is assumed. Note that this property does not define how the expiration is set - but that there IS an expiration. The property may be set to either a specific date/time or an interval (calculated from the Issued datetime). For example, for Certificate Authority-signed public key, the expiration is determined by the CA. Another example is a voice mail password that expires 60 days after it is set/issued.
