Parameters:

• uri (string) – URI of the CIMOM
• username (string) – account, under which, the CIM calls will be performed
• password (string) – user’s password
• interactive (bool) – flag indicating, if the LMIShell client is running in the interactive mode; default value is False.
• use_cache (bool) – flag indicating, if the LMIShell client should use cache for CIMClass objects. This saves a lot’s of communication, if there is often the LMIShellClient._get_class_names() or LMIShellClient.attr._get_class() call issued.
• conn_type –

  type of connection; can be of 2 values:

  • LMIBaseClient.CONN_TYPE_WBEM – WBEM connection,

• cert_file (string) – path to x509 cert file; default value is None
• verify_server_cert (bool) – indicates, whether a server side certificate needs to be verified, if SSL used; default value is True
