association CIM_AuthenticationTarget : CIM_Dependency


Description:

CIM_AuthenticationTarget is an association used to apply authentication requirements for access to specific resources. For example, a shared secret may be sufficient for access to unclassified resources, but for confidential resources, a stronger authentication may be required. Since the AuthenticationRequirement class is deprecated in lieu of explicit policy rules, this association is similarly deprecated to its 'policy' equivalent.
