__WBEMAuthenticationData

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The __WBEMAuthenticationData system class is a security-related class used to specify the necessary information to authenticate a user through WBEM Authentication.

Instances of this class contain the password for the user. However, the password has been transformed using a one-way encryption algorithm (MD5) to protect it from being disclosed.

To completely specify a user that is authenticated through WBEM Authentication, it is necessary to create a __User or __Group and to create an instance of this class, followed by an instance of __SubjectAuthenticationBinding to associate the pair.

This class is only available in the Root\Security namespace.

class __WBEMAuthenticationData : __AuthenticationData
{
    string Authenticator = "WBEM";
    uint8 PasswordDigest[];
};
 

Properties
