CIM_BiometricAuthentication Superclass: CIM_AuthenticationCondition
A class describing a company's and/or administrator's credential requirements that should be authenticated in order to establish/trust a CIM_Identity. This class defines specific biometric data that should be authenticated.
Qualifiers:Version ( "2.8.0" )
Parameters (local in grey)
string PersonalIdentifier ;
String defining a specific biometric code, which may be validated by the security infrastructure. If this property is left blank, it is the responsibility of the infrastructure to verify the biometric (which MUST be of a type specified by the TypeOfBiometric property).
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_BiometricAuthentication.TypeOfBiometric" }
string OtherBiometric ;
String specifying the biometric when the TypeOfBiometric property is set to 1, 'Other'.
Values { "Other" , "Facial" , "Retina" , "Mark" , "Finger" , "Voice" , "DNA-RNA" , "EEG" }
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_BiometricAuthentication.OtherBiometric" }
ValueMap { "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" }
uint16 TypeOfBiometric ;
Integer enumeration identifying the biometric data that should be authenticated.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string PolicyRuleCreationClassName ;
For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Condition is associated. For a reusable Policy Condition, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Condition is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string PolicyConditionName ;
A user-friendly name of this PolicyCondition.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string SystemName ;
The name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyCondition is defined.

This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyCondition exists. For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyCondition, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Condition.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string SystemCreationClassName ;
The name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyCondition is defined.

This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyCondition exists. For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyCondition, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Condition.

Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyCondition is related, either directly via the PolicyConditionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyConditionInPolicyRule aggregation.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string CreationClassName ;
CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
MaxLen ( 256 )
Key
string PolicyRuleName ;
For a rule-specific PolicyCondition, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Condition is associated. For a reusable PolicyCondition, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Condition is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
string CommonName ;
A user-friendly name of this policy-related object.
string PolicyKeywords [ ] ;
An array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types:
- Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects.
- Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include 'Engineering', 'Billing', and 'Review in December 2000'.
This MOF defines the following keywords: 'UNKNOWN', 'CONFIGURATION', 'USAGE', 'SECURITY', 'SERVICE', 'MOTIVATIONAL', 'INSTALLATION', and 'EVENT'. These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: 'POLICY'. The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword 'POLICY' is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above.
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.
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.
