CIM_CredentialContext
This relationship defines a context (e.g., a System or Service) of a Credential. One example is a shared secret/ password which is defined within the context of an application (or Service). Generally, there is one scoping element for a Credential, however the multiplicities of the association allow a Credential to be scoped by more than one element. If this association is not instantiated for a Credential, that Credential is assumed to be scoped to the Namespace.
This association may also be used to indicate that a Credential is valid in some other environment. For instance associating the Credential to a RemoteServiceAccessPoint would indicate that the Credential is used to access the remote service.
