SupportedPasswordAlgorithms | string[] |
Description | string | The transformation algorithm, if any, used to protect passwords before use in the protocol. For instance, Kerberos doesn&apos;t store passwords as the shared.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_SharedSecret.Algorithm
SupportedPasswordEncodings | uint32[] |
Description | string | This property specifies encoding the BIOS supports for denoting password parameter strings. Encoding defines the format that a password string is being passed into the BIOS or set with. "kbd" denotes a string in hexadecimal format containing keyboard scan code input. An example of a password structured in this format would be "321539191E1F1F11181320", which is the representation of "my password" in US English keyboard scan codes. "ascii" denotes clear text that shall comply with the ASCII character set. Character encodings from " " (decimal 32) to "~" (decimal 126) are supported. An example would be "my password". "pin" denotes that only numeric input in ASCII text is allowed for the password instance. An example would be "1234".
