Class CIM_Credential
extends CIM_ManagedElement

Subclasses of CIM_Credential define materials, information or other data which are used to establish identity. 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.

Expires	datetime
Expires	datetime		Description	string	The date and time when the credential expires (and is not appropriate for use for authentication/ authorization). If this information is not applicable, Use a value of '99991231235959.999999+999', (1 microsecond before midnight, December 31, 9999 CE, at coordinated universal time + 999 minutes). On CreateInstance, if this property is unspecified, or set to NULL, then a value of '99991231235959.999999+999' is assumed. 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.
Issued	datetime
Issued	datetime		Description	string	The date and time when the credential was issued. Use a value of all '00000101000000.000000+000', (midnight, January 1, 1 BCE at coordinated universal time +0 minutes), if this information is not applicable. On CreateInstance, if this property is unspecified, or set to NULL, then current time is assumed.
