CIM_PublicKeyCertificate Superclass: CIM_Credential
A PublicKeyCertificate is a credential that is cryptographically signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) and issued to an authenticated entity (e.g., human user, service, etc.) called the Subject in the certificate. The public key in the certificate is cryptographically related to a private key that is held and kept private by the authenticated Subject. The certificate and its related private key can then be used for establishing trust relationships and securing communications with the Subject. Refer to the ITU/CCITT X.509 standard as an example of such certificates.

Key
string SystemCreationClassName ;
The scoping System's CCN.
MaxLen ( 256 )

string Subject ;
Certificate subject identifier.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Propagated ( "CIM_CertificateAuthority.CreationClassName" )
Key
string ServiceCreationClassName ;
The scoping Service's CCN.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Propagated ( "CIM_CertificateAuthority.SystemName" )
Key
string SystemName ;
The scoping System's Name.
OctetString
uint8 PublicKey [ ] ;
The DER-encoded raw public key.
MaxLen ( 256 )
string AltSubject ;
Alternate subject identifier for the Certificate.
datetime Issued ;
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.
datetime Expires ;
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.
string ElementName ;
A 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.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
