The following components of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can use passwords for
|
|
authentication:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p> When using remote iSCSI storage and the storage server requires authentication, an
|
|
initiator secret can optionally be supplied with the <userinput>VBoxManage
|
|
storageattach</userinput> command. As long as no settings password is provided, by using
|
|
the command line option <codeph>--settingspwfile</codeph>, then this secret is stored
|
|
<i>unencrypted</i> in the machine configuration and is therefore potentially readable on
|
|
the host. See <xref href="storage-iscsi.dita">iSCSI Servers</xref> and <xref
|
|
href="vboxmanage-storageattach.dita">VBoxManage storageattach</xref>. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> web service to control an
|
|
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> host remotely, connections to the web service
|
|
are authenticated in various ways. This is described in
|
|
detail in the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Software Development Kit (SDK)
|
|
reference. See <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita#VirtualBoxAPI"/>.
