Class CIM_PhysicalCredentialAuthentication Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Versionstring2.8.0 CIM_PhysicalCredentialAuthentication
DescriptionstringA class describing a company ’ s and/or administrator ’ s credential requirements that should be authenticated in order to establish/trust a CIM_Identity. This class defines the specific type of physical credential that should be authenticated. CIM_PhysicalCredentialAuthentication
DescriptionstringAn abstract class whose subclasses describe one of a company ’ s and/or administrator ’ s credential requirements, and/or other information that should be authenticated in order to establish/trust a CIM_Identity. The PolicyConditions collected by an instance of AuthenticationRule describe the various requirements under which a CIM_Identity ’ s CurrentlyAuthenticated Boolean is set to TRUE. Note that the CIM_Identities which are authenticated are specified through the AuthenticationRule, using the PolicySet AppliesToElement association. CIM_AuthenticationCondition
DescriptionstringA class representing a rule-specific or reusable policy condition to be evaluated in conjunction with a Policy Rule. Since all operational details of a PolicyCondition are provided in subclasses of this object, this class is abstract. CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringAn abstract class defining the common properties of the policy managed elements derived from CIM_Policy. The subclasses are used to create rules and groups of rules that work together to form a coherent set of policies within an administrative domain or set of domains. CIM_Policy
DescriptionstringManagedElement is an abstract class that provides a common superclass (or top of the inheritance tree) for the non-association classes in the CIM Schema. CIM_ManagedElement

Property PhysicalIdentifier Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringString defining a character or binary sequence, which is built into the physical credential to identify it. If left blank, it is the responsibility of the security infrastructure to verify that a valid credential (of the specified type) has been used. CIM_PhysicalCredentialAuthentication

Property SystemCreationClassName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringThe name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyCondition is defined. This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyCondition exists. For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyCondition, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Condition. Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyCondition is related, either directly via the PolicyConditionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyConditionInPolicyRule aggregation. CIM_PolicyCondition

Property SystemName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringThe name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyCondition is defined. This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyCondition exists. For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyCondition, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Condition. CIM_PolicyCondition

Property PolicyRuleCreationClassName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringFor a rule-specific PolicyCondition, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Condition is associated. For a reusable Policy Condition, a special value, ’ NO RULE ’ , should be used to indicate that this Condition is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule. CIM_PolicyCondition
MaxLenuint32256 CIM_PolicyCondition

Property PolicyRuleName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringFor a rule-specific PolicyCondition, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Condition is associated. For a reusable PolicyCondition, a special value, ’ NO RULE ’ , should be used to indicate that this Condition is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule. CIM_PolicyCondition
MaxLenuint32256 CIM_PolicyCondition

Property CreationClassName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringCreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified. CIM_PolicyCondition
MaxLenuint32256 CIM_PolicyCondition

Property PolicyConditionName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_PolicyCondition
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name of this PolicyCondition. CIM_PolicyCondition
MaxLenuint32256 CIM_PolicyCondition

Property CommonName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name of this policy-related object. CIM_Policy

Property PolicyKeywords Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include ’ Engineering ’ , ’ Billing ’ , and ’ Review in December 2000 ’ . This MOF defines the following keywords: ’ UNKNOWN ’ , ’ CONFIGURATION ’ , ’ USAGE ’ , ’ SECURITY ’ , ’ SERVICE ’ , ’ MOTIVATIONAL ’ , ’ INSTALLATION ’ , and ’ EVENT ’ . These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: ’ POLICY ’ . The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword ’ POLICY ’ is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above. CIM_Policy

Property Caption Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. CIM_ManagedElement
MaxLenuint3264 CIM_ManagedElement

Property Description Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object. CIM_ManagedElement

Property ElementName Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringA 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. CIM_ManagedElement
