Table 94. BIOSPassword (continued)
Property Description Supported
Operating
System(s)
<OrgID> is set to DMTF and the <identifier> is specified in the BIOS Attribute
Registry.
CurrentValue
CurrentValue returns an empty array.
Windows, Linux
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: 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.
Windows, Linux
InstanceID
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and
uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within
the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the
following preferred algorithm: <OrgID> : <LocalID>Where <OrgID> and
<LocalID> are separated by a colon &apos; : &apos,and where <OrgID> MUST
include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by
the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is
assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority (This is similar to
the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In
addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (:). When
using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear
between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and
SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If
the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that
the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or
other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the
preferred algorithm MUST be used with the<OrgID> set to CIM.
Windows, Linux
isSet
This property returns TRUE if the current password instance filed has certain
values and set to FALSE.
This property is provided because the Value property is defined as NULL for
password instances.
Windows, Linux
isUsed This property specifies if the password has been successfully verified at least
once after the password was set earlier.
Following are the values:
● 0 indicates isUsed=False
● 1 indicates isUsed=TRUE
● 2 indicates isUsed is not supported on current BIOS version
Windows
MaxLength
This property specifies the maximum string length that is allowed when modifying
this BIOS attribute. A value of NULL defines the maximum length is unknown. A
value of 0 defines the maximum length as 18446744073709551615, the limitation
of the property definition as uint64.
Windows, Linux
MinLength
This property specifies the minimum string length that is allowed when modifying
this BIOS attribute. A value of NULL is defined as zero.
Windows, Linux
PendingValue
PendingValue returns an empty array.
