Provisioning Schema::authentication

---

Element that encapsulates authentication credentials for a provisioning request. This element is part of the provisioning schema of Microsoft® Provisioning Framework (MPF).

Authentication credentials can either be passed with the request or automatically generated by MPF based on the security context for the calling user. MPF uses these credentials to authorize access to namespaces and procedures and to external services such as Microsoft® Active Directory®.
