       "CIM_AuthenticationService verifies users\' identities through "
       "some means. These services are decomposed into a subclass that "
       "provides credentials to users and a subclass that provides for "
       "the verification of the validity of a credential and, perhaps, "
       "the appropriateness of its use for access to target resources. "
       "The persistent state information used from one such "
       "verification to another is maintained in an instance of "
       "Identity class." )]
