Class CIM_SharedCredential
extends CIM_Credential

SharedCredential is a secret (such as a password or the response to a challenge question) that is shared between a principal and a particular SharedCredential 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 SharedCredential 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.
InstanceIDstring
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 organizational 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'.
