8 The following components of Oracle VM VirtualBox can use passwords for
9 authentication:
10 </p>
11 <ul>
12 <li>
13 <p>
14 When using remote iSCSI storage and the storage server
15 requires authentication, an initiator secret can optionally
16 be supplied with the <userinput>VBoxManage
17 storageattach</userinput> command. As long as no settings
18 password is provided, by using the command line option
19 <codeph>--settingspwfile</codeph>, then this secret is
20 stored <i>unencrypted</i> in the machine
21 configuration and is therefore potentially readable on the
22 host. See <xref href="storage-iscsi.dita">iSCSI Servers</xref> and
23 <xref href="man_VBoxManage-storageattach.dita">VBoxManage storageattach</xref>.

25 </li>
26 <li>

28 When using the Oracle VM VirtualBox web service to control an
29 Oracle VM VirtualBox host remotely, connections to the web service
30 are authenticated in various ways. This is described in
31 detail in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Software Development Kit (SDK)
32 reference. See <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita#VirtualBoxAPI"/>.
