EMC® VNX® Series Security Configuration Guide for VNX
VNX for block CLI authentication
VNX for block CLI requires that user credentials be passed with each command. You can provide user credentials in either of the following ways:
- You can provide credentials with each command.
-
You can use the addusersecurity command to create a file on the host that stores user credentials. If you enter a VNX for block CLI command without credentials, the CLI gets your credentials from this file and sends your credentials with the command.
If you do not explicitly include your credentials with CLI commands, this security file must contain valid Unisphere credentials. This file is stored in your home directory and its contents are encrypted. This file and its encryption key are protected by access control lists (ACLs) and a machine-specific pass phrase.
