CIM Operations over HTTP

This standard defines a mapping of CIM-XML messages to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP and HTTPS) so that implementations of CIM can operate in an open, standardized manner. It also defines the notion of conformance in the context of this mapping, and it describes the behavior animplementation of CIM shall exhibit to be a conforming CIM implementation.

Representation of CIM in XML

CIM information could be represented within XML in many different ways. In the interest of interoperability between different implementations of CIM,there is an obvious requirement for standardization of this representation.  The following criteria have been applied in the design of the representation presented here:

  • Fully standardized technologies are used wherever possible, in preference to Working Drafts.
  • Where use is made of a Working Draft, the intention is to track the changes to the Working Draft in this specification.
  • Completeness is favored over conciseness (all aspects of CIM should be modeled).

WBEM Discovery Using the Service Location Protocol (SLP)

This specification describes an efficient method for WBEM Clients to discover WBEM Servers and WBEM Server capabilities. The objectives of this specification are to:

  • Provide a mechanism that allows WBEM Clients to discover WBEM Servers
  • Use existing standards and protocols for rapid development and deployment
  • Provide a mechanism that scales from small environments to enterprise environments
  • Provide WBEM Clients sufficient information in the advertisement to determine the WBEM
  • Servers to communicate with

Scope the level of advertisement to avoid security holes The Service Location Protocol provides a flexible and scalable framework for providing clients, represented by User Agents, with access to information about the existence, location, and configuration of services, represented by Service Agents. Traditionally, clients have had to know the name and access method of services. The SLP eliminates the need for a client to know the name and access point of services. With SLP the client supplies a request for the desired type of service. The client receives information regarding the requested services
