Class CIM_ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism
extends CIM_ServiceAccessPoint

The class, ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism, describes access to an ObjectManager. It describes a protocol and data encoding that can be used for communication. When all instances of this class are enumerated for an ObjectManager (using the CommMechanismForManager association), all possible protocol and encoding schemes will be known. Also, specific capabilities (for example, basic read or query) that are supported in the protocol/encoding are described - using the ProfilesSupported property.

CommunicationMechanismuint16
DescriptionstringCommunicationMechanism describes an encoding and protocol which can be used to communicate with the server. ObjectManager, the specified string should be indicated. If Other is used, the value forOtherCommunicationMechanismDescription must not be null.

MultipleOperationsSupportedboolean
DescriptionstringBoolean indicating whether the ObjectManager supports multiple operation requests (TRUE) or only simple requests (FALSE).
Requiredbooleantrue
OtherCommunicationMechanismDescriptionstring
DescriptionstringA free-form string providing a description of the supported protocols when 1, "Other", is specified in the CommunicationMechanism.

Versionstring
DescriptionstringProvides the protocol version for this service access point. Version information MUST be in the form of M.N, where M is a numeric that describes the Major version and N is a numeric that describes the minor version.
Requiredbooleantrue
AdvertiseTypeDescriptionsstring[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringA free-form string providing additional information related to the AdvertiseType. A description MUST be provided when the AdvertiseType is 1, "Other". An entry in this array corresponds to the entry in the AdvertiseTypes array at the same index. It is not expected that additional descriptions are needed if the Type is set to "Not Advertised" or "SLP". However, as the SLP template expands, or as other advertisement mechanisms are defined, support for additional descriptions may be needed. This array is defined to support this.

AdvertiseTypesuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringThis property signifies the advertisement for this access point. . It is used by the advertising services of the WBEM infrastructure to determine what should be advertised, via what mechanisms. The property is an array so that the communicationMechansim MAY be advertised using several mechanisms. Note: If this property is null/uninitialized, this is equivalent to specifying the value 2, "Not Advertised".

AuthenticationMechanismDescriptionsstring[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringFree-form strings providing descriptions of the supported mechanisms. Entries in this array are correlated with those in the AuthenticationMechanismsSupported array. An entry in this Descriptions array MUST be provided when 1, "Other", is specified in AuthenticationMechanismsSupported.
