Class CIM_Credential
CIM_ManagedElement
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.

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.

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.
