8 The following components of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> can use passwords for
9 authentication:

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

23 When using the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> web service to control an
24 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> host remotely, connections to the web service
25 are authenticated in various ways. This is described in
26 detail in the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Software Development Kit (SDK)
27 reference. See <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita#VirtualBoxAPI"/>.
