Class CIM_Credential

Used in features: CIM Schema inheritance classes 
CIM_ManagedElement
   extended by CIM_Credential
Known Subclasses:
AMT_ProvisioningCertificateHash 
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.

InstanceID 
public string InstanceID



  
General Information:
InstanceID is an optional property that may 
  be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the 
  scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may 
  override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also 
  modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined 
  below.
To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID 
  should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: 
  
<OrgID>:<LocalID> 
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> 
  are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a 
  copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the 
  business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a 
  registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global 
  authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class 
  Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, 
  <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the 
  first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and 
  <LocalID>. 
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and 
  should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. 
  If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining 
  entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any 
  InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this 
  instance. 
If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" 
  algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to 
  CIM.

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.
