Class CIM_Credential
extends CIM_ManagedElement

Subclasses of CIM_Credential define materials, information, or other data which are used to prove the identity of a CIM_UsersAccess to a particular CIM_SecurityService. Generally, there may be some shared information, or credential material which is used to identify and authenticate ones self in the process of gaining access to, or permission to use, an Account. Such credential material may be used to authenticate a users access identity initially, as done by a CIM_AuthenticationService (see later), and additionally on an ongoing basis during the course of a connection or other security association, as proof that each received message or communication came from the owning user access of that credential material.
