Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog box A

Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog box

The Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog box enables you to define security authentication on selected ports.

Opening the dialog box

Select Configure > Authentication from the main menu, or perform the appropriate following step to open the security authentication dialog box:

•From the host level, right-click the host and select Authentication from the list. The Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration (host level) dialog box displays.

•From the adapter level, right-click the adapter and select Authentication from the list.

The Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration (adapter level) dialog box displays. This dialog box is identical to the Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration (host level) dialog box.

•From the adapter port level, right click a port and select FC-SP > Authentication from the list. The Fibre Channel Security Protocol Configuration dialog at the host level displays.

Fields and components

Field	Description
Port #	The port number (0 or 1) for which you are configuring security
	authentication.
Port WWN	The world wide name of the port for which you are configuring
	security authentication.
Port Name	The name of the port (for example, Port 0 or Port 1) for which you are
	configuring security authentication.
Authentication	Check to enable port security authentication.
Status	Indicates whether authentication is used.
Algorithm	The configured algorithm. Options include MD5, SHA1, MD5SHA1,
	SHAMD5.
Group	Indicates the DH group value. DHNULL (group 0) is the only option.
Enable Authentication check box	Check to enable FC-SP authentication on the selected device.
CHAP Secret	Type the CHAP secret.
Retype Secret	Retype the CHAP secret to confirm.
Algorithm list	Select the type of algorithm. Options include the following:
	• MD5 - A hashing algorithm that verifies a message’s integrity
	using Message Digest version 5.
	• SHA1 - A secure hashing algorithm that computes a 160-bit
	message digest for a data file that is provided as input.
	• MD5SH1 - Similar to the MD5 hashing algorithm, but used for
	DH-CHAP authentication.
	• SHA1MD5 - Similar to the SHA1 hashing algorithm, but used for
	DH-CHAP authentication.
