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.<h3> Table of Contents<br> <a href="#c_hierarchy">Hierarchy</a> <br> <a href="#c_subclasses">Direct Known Subclasses</a> <br> <a href="#c_qualifiers">Class Qualifiers</a> <br> <a href="#c_properties">Class Properties</a> <br> <a href="#c_methods">Class Methods</a> <br> </h3> <hr> </hr> <H2> <a name="c_hierarchy">Class Hierarchy</a> </H2> <a href="CIM_ManagedElement.html">CIM_ManagedElement</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<b>CIM_Credential</b> <br data="CIM_Credential -- CIM_ManagedElement"> <H2> <a name="c_subclasses">Direct Known Subclasses</a> </H2> <a href="CIM_FingerprintImage.html">CIM_FingerprintImage</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_FingerprintTemplate.html">CIM_FingerprintTemplate</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_KerberosCredential.html">CIM_KerberosCredential</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_KerberosTicket.html">CIM_KerberosTicket</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_NamedCredential.html">CIM_NamedCredential</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_NamedSharedIKESecret.html">CIM_NamedSharedIKESecret</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_PublicKeyCertificate.html">CIM_PublicKeyCertificate</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_SharedCredential.html">CIM_SharedCredential</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_SharedSecret.html">CIM_SharedSecret</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_SignedCredential.html">CIM_SignedCredential</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_UnsignedCredential.html">CIM_UnsignedCredential</a> <BR> <a href="CIM_UnsignedPublicKey.html">CIM_UnsignedPublicKey</a> <BR> <H2> <a name="c_qualifiers">Class Qualifiers</a> </H2> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TH>Name</TH><TH>Data Type</TH><TH>Value</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP">Abstract</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">boolean</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">true</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP">Description</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">string</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">Subclasses of CIM_Credential define materials, information or other data which are used to establish identity.

Another example is a voice mail password that expires 60 days after it is set/issued.</TD> </TR> <TR> <TH ROWSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP">Issued</TH><TD ROWSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP">datetime</TD><TD ROWSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP">Description</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">string</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">The date and time when the credential was issued.
