[Version ( "2.19.0" ), UMLPackagePath ( "CIM::User::Identity" ), Description ( "An 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. \n" "\n" "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. \n" "\n" "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.
