Versionstring2.8.0 CIM_IPNetworkIdentity
DescriptionstringIPNetworkIdentity is used to represent the various network identities that may be used for an IPProtocolEndpoint. The relationship between the NetworkIdentity and the IPProtocolEndpoint is modeled by the AssignedIdentity association, inherited from CIM_Identity. This association could also be used to relate an address range or other endpoint collection with the Identity. CIM_IPNetworkIdentity
MappingStringsstringIPSP Policy Model.IETF|IKEIdentity CIM_IPNetworkIdentity
DescriptionstringAn instance of an Identity represents a ManagedElement that acts as a security principal within the scope in which it is defined and authenticated. (Note that the Identity ’ s scope is specified using the association, CIM_IdentityContext.) ManagedElements with Identities can be OrganizationalEntities, Services, Systems, etc. The ManagedElement ’ behind ’ an Identity is described using the AssignedIdentity association. Within a given security context, an Identity may be imparted a level of trust, usually based on its credentials. A trust level is defined using the CIM_SecuritySensitivity class, and associated with Identity using CIM_ElementSecuritySensitivity. Whether an Identity is currently authenticated is evaluated by checking the CurrentlyAuthenticated boolean property. This property is set and cleared by the security infrastructure, and should only be readable within the management infrastructure. The conditions which must be met/authenticated in order for an Identity ’ s CurrentlyAuthenticated Boolean to be TRUE are defined using a subclass of PolicyCondition - AuthenticationCondition. The inheritance tree for AuthenticationCondition is defined in the CIM Policy Model. Subclasses of Identity may include specific information related to a given AuthenticationService or authority (such as a security token or computer hardware port/communication details) that more specifically determine the authenticity of the Identity. An instance of Identity may be persisted even though it is not CurrentlyAuthenticated, in order to maintain static relationships to Roles, associations to accounting information, and policy data defining authentication requirements. Note however, when an Identity is not authenticated (CurrentlyAuthenticated = FALSE), then Privileges or rights SHOULD NOT be authorized. The lifetime, validity, and propagation of the Identity is dependent on a security infrastructure ’ s policies. CIM_Identity
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

DescriptionstringThe IdentityType specifies the type of IP network Identity. The list of identities was generated from Section 4.6.2.1 of RFC2407. Note that the enumeration is different than the RFC list, since the value ’ Other ’ is taken into account. CIM_IPNetworkIdentity

Property IdentityValue Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Requiredbooleantrue CIM_IPNetworkIdentity
DescriptionstringIdentityValue contains a string encoding of the Identity. For Identity instances that are address types, the IdentityValue string value may be omitted and the associated IPProtocolEndpoint, RangeOfIPAddresses or similar class is used to define this information. The class is associated using the AssignedIdentity relationship. CIM_IPNetworkIdentity

Property InstanceID Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
Keybooleantrue CIM_Identity
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order 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 creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This 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 re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above ’ preferred ’ algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance ’ s NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the ’ preferred ’ algorithm MUST be used with the < OrgID > set to ’ CIM ’ . CIM_Identity

Property CurrentlyAuthenticated Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringBoolean indicating whether this Identity has been authenticated, and is currently known within the scope of an AuthenticationService or authority. By default, authenticity SHOULD NOT be assumed. This property is set and cleared by the security infrastructure, and should only be readable within the management infrastructure. Note that its value, alone, may not be sufficient to determine authentication/ authorization, in that properties of an Identity subclass (such as a security token or computer hardware port/ communication details) may be required by the security infrastructure.

Property Caption Qualifiers

DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object. 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
