About Authorizations

A provider that handles sensitive data can check authorizations for requests for indications. The provider must implement the Authorizable interface to indicate that the provider handles authorization checking. The provider also implements the authorizeFilter method. The CIMOM calls this method to test whether the owner (UID) of an event handler is authorized to receive the indications that result from evaluating a filter expression. The UID for the owner of the event destination, the event handler, can be different than the owner of the client application requesting the filter activation.
