Detailed Description

The Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Authentication::ComponentData class contains the authentication information of the component along with its fingerprint.

Member Function Documentation

public method Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Authentication::ComponentData::get_fingerprint

(

)

Gets the value of 'fingerprint' property.

Return values

fingerprint

- The current value of the field. Fingerprint of the metadata of the component.

Authentication information could change when there is an infrastructure update. Since the data present in :attr:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Authentication::ComponentData.info could be quite large, fingerprint provides a convenient way to check if the data for a particular component is updated.

You should store the fingerprint associated with a component. After an update, by invoking the :func:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Authentication::Component.fingerprint method , you can retrieve the new fingerprint for the component. If the new fingerprint and the previously stored fingerprint do not match, clients can then use the :func:Com::Vmware::Vapi::Metadata::Authentication::Component.get to retrieve the new authentication information for the component.
