# Class CIM_AuthenticationCondition
extends CIM_PolicyCondition

An abstract class whose subclasses describe one of a company's and/or administrator's credential requirements, and/or other information that should be authenticated in order to establish/trust a CIM_Identity. The PolicyConditions collected by an instance of AuthenticationRule describe the various requirements under which a CIM_Identity's CurrentlyAuthenticated Boolean is set to TRUE. Note that the CIM_Identities which are authenticated are specified through the AuthenticationRule, using the PolicySet AppliesToElement association.
