UMLPackagePathstringCIM::User::IdentityCIM_RemoteIdentity
DescriptionstringAn instance of RemoteIdentity is an Identity that should be used to provide a persistent representation of a security principal for which authoritative information required for mapping to users or groups is not otherwise modeled.CIM_RemoteIdentity
UMLPackagePathstringCIM::User::IdentityCIM_Identity
DescriptionstringAn 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. 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. 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. The lifetime, validity, and propagation of the Identity is dependent on a security infrastructure's policies.CIM_Identity

Property Qualifiers

Property Name Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringName is an octet string representing an identifier that can be correlated to the authoritative information. The type and format are defined by the NameFormat and OtherNameFormat properties.CIM_RemoteIdentity
OctetStringbooleantrueCIM_RemoteIdentity
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_RemoteIdentity.NameFormatCIM_RemoteIdentity

Property NameFormat Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringAn enumeration defining the type and format of Name. * GID: A Unix Group ID, an integer encoded as an octet string. For example, the decimal value 25 results in the octet string 0x00000005 0x19. * UID: A Unix User ID, an integer encoded as an octet string. For example, the decimal value 100 results in the octet string 0x00000005 0x64. * SID: A Windows Security ID in its native binary encoding, embedded in an octet string. For example, the SID0x01020000 0x00000005 0x20000000 0x20020000 results in the octet string 0x00000014 0x01020000 0x00000005 0x20000000 0x20020000. * DN: An LDAP Distinguished Name encoded according to the ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER), embedded in an octet string. For example, a Distinguished Name ASN.1 DER encoding that starts with the header 0x3081DE (which represents an ASN.1 SEQUENCE 0xDE = 222 bytes in length, not including the header) results in an octet string that starts with the bytes 0x000000E5 0x3081DE. The ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules are specified in X.690. * KID: A Kerberos Remote Identifier, encoded as a UTF-8 string embedded in an octet string. For example, the KID "Jane Doe" results in the octet string 0x0000000C 0x4A616E65 0x20446F65.CIM_RemoteIdentity

Property InstanceID Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
KeybooleantrueCIM_Identity
DescriptionstringWithin the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID>Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.CIM_Identity

Property CurrentlyAuthenticated Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringBoolean indicating whether this Identity has been authenticated, and is currently known within the scope of an AuthenticationService or authority. By default, authenticity SHOULD NOT be assumed. This property is set and cleared by the security infrastructure, and should only be readable within the management infrastructure. Note that its value, alone, may not be sufficient to determine authentication/ authorization, in that properties of an Identity subclass (such as a security token or computer hardware port/ communication details) may be required by the security infrastructure.CIM_Identity

Property Caption Qualifiers
NameTypeValueFrom Class
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.CIM_ManagedElement
MaxLenuint3264CIM_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
