DescriptionstringSubclasses 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. CIM_Credential
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 Qualifiers

Property Issued Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe 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. CIM_Credential

Property Expires Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe 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. CIM_Credential

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
