Authentication is not supported. There is a Trello card in the backlog if anyone
out there wants to pick it up.

[SPDK] NVMeoF Security

[Gruher, Joseph R]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 355 bytes --]

The NVMeoF spec includes two methods for authentication, section 6 in the 1.0a spec, but neither are actually implemented in the Linux kernel NVMeoF stack today.  Some users have expressed concerns about security.

Does SPDK support NVMeoF authentication, and if so which kind(s)?  Or if not, do we plan to support in the future?

Thanks,
Joe
