iSCSI Login Questions

[Steve Senum <ssenum@cisco.com>]

Julian:

Is the following valid (taking into account the
changes requested from the UNH Plugfest)?

I: Login: AuthMethod:none SecurityContextComplete=Yes

I would assume not, that the initiator must wait
until after the initial exchange of the AuthMethod, HeaderDigest,
and DataDigest keys to send the SecurityContextComplete
key.

Also, if further simplification of the login process
is desired, the working group might want to consider requiring
the initiator to send the AuthMethod HeaderDigest and
the DataDigest keys on the first login, so that the
login sequence would always look like:

I: Login:   AuthMethod=a1,a2,aN
            HeaderDigest=hd1,hd2,hdN
            DataDigest=dd1,dd2,ddN
T: LoginPR: AuthMethod=a1
            HeaderDigest=hd1 DataDigest=dd1
...Authentication phase, if needed
I: Text:    SecurityContextComplete=yes
T: Text:    SecurityContextComplete=yes
...Operational Parameter Negotiating phase
...Full Feature Phase
