Remarks
You can require that client scripts and applications use an encrypted connection for authentication by adding the RequiresEncryption qualifier to the .mof file that creates the namespace. You can also modify an existing namespace by adding this attribute and compile the .mof file again. For more information about how to use RequiresEncryption, see Requiring an Encrypted Connection to a Namespace.
