Description (
"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." )]
class CIM_Credential : CIM_ManagedElement {
[Description (
"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." )]
datetime Issued;
[Description (
"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). \n"
"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." )]
