auth-cfgs Description and Values: This is the DH-CHAP related driver property for FC-SP support. It is
only valid when driver property enable-auth is set to 1. This driver property should be ignored
when enable-auth is set to 0.
This property represents a table of entries. The format of the table is:
"LWWN|RWWN|atov|amod|dir|tlist|hlist|dhgplist|reauth",
"LWWN|RWWN|atov|amod|dir|tlist|hlist|dhgplist|reauth",
"LWWN|RWWN|atov|amod|dir|tlist|hlist|dhgplist|reauth";
The table can hold as many entries as needed.
LWWN: The WWPN of the local entity, i.e. HBA port. You should use the form of
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, where NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN is a 16 digit hexadecimal
representation of the Host port World Wide Port Name. Or you could use 0000000000000000
to refer to the local port WWPN.
RWWN: The WWPN of the remote entity, i.e. Fabric controller or any remote Nport. You
should use the form of NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, where NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN is a 16
digit hexadecimal representation of the Fabric Controller or Nport FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF as
generic remote fabric port WWPN.
atov: The authentication timeout value in seconds (hexadecimal format). The atov range is 20
to 999 seconds in hexidecimal. For example, 45 seconds would be entered as 002d.
amod: The authentication mode. The valid modes are specified as 1 (Disabled), 2 (Active) and
3 (Passive). For a detailed description of the mode, please see the Emulex HBAnyware utility
help page.
dir: The bi-directional authentication parameter. When set to 1, bi-directional authentication is
enabled. When set to 0, bi-directional authentication is disabled. When bidirectional
authentication is enabled, the key associated with remote entity must be specified in the auth-
keys driver property.
tlist: The authentication type list (4 digits). Currently the Emulex LPFC driver only supports
DH-CHAP, tlist should always be set to 1000.
hlist: The authentication hash list (4 digits). Currently the Emulex emlxs driver only supports
MD5 and SHA1. 01 refers to MD5, 02 refers to SHA1. For example: 01020000 means MD5,
SHA1 in order of preference. 01000000 means MD5 only.
dhgplist: The DH-CHAP group list in order of preference (8 digits). Currently Emulex emlxs
driver supports NULL DH-CHAP algorithm and non-NULL DH-CHAP algorithm such as DH
group 1024, group 1280, group 1536 and group 2048. The values can be 0 (undefined), 1
(NULL group), 2 (1024), 3 (1280), 4(1536), 5 (2048). For example: 12345000 means NULL,
group 1024,1280, 1536 and 2048 in order of preference.
reauth: Reauthentication heart beat interval in minutes (hexadecimal format). For example,
12c means the host side will do the reauthentication every 300 minutes. When set to 0
reauthentication heartbeat is disabled. You can use emlxsX-auth-cfgs to specify the per HBA
instance DH-CHAP authentication parameters setup. Any valid setup in this way will overwrite
the auth-cfgs setup.
