| 14 | When using remote iSCSI storage and the storage server requires authentication, an
|
|---|
| 15 | initiator secret can optionally be supplied with the <userinput>VBoxManage
|
|---|
| 16 | storageattach</userinput> command. As long as no settings password is provided, by using
|
|---|
| 17 | the command line option <codeph>--settingspwfile</codeph>, then this secret is stored
|
|---|
| 18 | <i>unencrypted</i> in the machine configuration and is therefore potentially readable on
|
|---|
| 19 | the host. See <xref href="storage-iscsi.dita">iSCSI Servers</xref> and <xref
|

| 20 | href="vboxmanage-storageattach.dita">VBoxManage storageattach</xref>.

| 26 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> host remotely, connections to the web service
|
|---|
| 27 | are authenticated in various ways. This is described in

| 28 | detail in the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Software Development Kit (SDK)
|
|---|
| 29 | reference. See <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita#VirtualBoxAPI"/>.
