Is WMI ConnectServer plaintext?

boat73 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can anyone confirm or point me to documentation that shows if a statement like this sends the user ID and password encrypted or in plain text? Thanks in advance, boat73

    my $serverConn = $locator->ConnectServer $server, "root/cimv2", $u
+sername, $password);

It appears to be either NTLM or Kerberos encrypted according to MSDN Examine what is said, not who speaks.
