Class CIM_SharedSecret
extends CIM_Credential

CIM_SharedSecret is a secret (such as a password or the response to a challenge question) that is shared between a principal and a particular SharedSecret security service. Secrets may be in the form of a password used for initial authentication, or as with a session key, used as part of a message to verify the originator of the message. It is important to note that SharedSecret is not just a password, but rather is the password used with a particular security service.

Algorithmstring
DescriptionstringThe transformation algorithm, if any, used to protect passwords before use in the protocol. For instance, Kerberos doesn't store passwords as the shared secret, but rather, a hash of the password.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
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 ManagedSystemElement's Name property 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 MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Expiresdatetime
DescriptionstringThe date and time when the credential expires (and is not appropriate for use for authentication/ authorization). Use a value of all 9s if this information is not applicable. 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Issueddatetime
DescriptionstringThe date and time when the credential was issued. Use a value of all 0s if this information is not applicable.None TRANSLATABLE= true
