NAME
       cmciConnect() - Create a CMCIClient object and connection

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cmci.h>

       CMCIClient*
       cmciConnect(constchar*hostName,constchar*scheme,
       constchar*hostPort,constchar*CimUsername,
       constchar*CimPassword,CMPIStatus*rc);

       CMCIClient*
       cmciConnect2(constchar*hostName,constchar*scheme,
       constchar*hostPort,constchar*CimUsername,
       intverifyMode,constchar*trustStore,
       constchar*certFile,constchar*keyFile,
       constchar*CimPassword,CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION
       Create  a CMCIClient object and initialize it with the CIMOM connection
       hostname and port, the security credentials to log into the CIMOM,  and
       the  internals  for  sending  requests and receiving responses from the
       CIMOM.

       Arguments are the hostName and hostPort to connect, the CimUsername and
       CimPassword  credentials	 for  authentication  with  the	 CIMOM,	 and a
       pointer to an object to receive the CMPIStatus operation status.

       The function cmciConnect2 has the same purpose but offers extra parame‐
       ters to control SSL operations.

       verifyMode  specifies whether the server certificate for an SSL connec‐
       tion is to be verified. If set to CMCI_VERIFY_NONE the server ceritifi‐
       cat  will  not be verified, if set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER it will be veri‐
       fied agains the certificates in trustStore.

       trustStore contains the name of a file containing CA or client certifi‐
       cates  against which the server certificate will be verified if verify‐
       Mode is set to CMCI_VERIFY_PEER.

       certFile specifies the name of a file containing a  client  certificate
       which will be presented to the CIM server, if the CIM server implements
       certificate-based client authentication. Must be set  to	 NULL,	if  no
       client certificates are available.

       keyFile specifies the name of a file containing the private key for the
       certificate specified via certFile.  Must be set to NULL, if no	client
       certificates are available.

RETURN VALUE
       When successful the cmciConnect function returns a pointer to a dynami‐
       cally allocated and initialized CMCIClient  object  with	 a  successful
       operation  status code set.  When unsuccessful it returns NULL and sets
       rc object with the error code and corresponding error string.

ERRORS
EXAMPLES
	  CMCIClient *cc;

	  /* Setup a local conncetion to the CIMOM */
	  cc = cmciConnect("localhost", NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
