    Re: iSCSI: Digests and Multiple Connections




    Prasenjit,

    The use is clearly indicated as IO in appendix D.
    However I will remove the statement about keys being session only - as all the keys state clearly what their use is and the statement creates some confusion.

    Regards,
    Julo

    Julian,

    My question was about digests only and you ought to put that
    assertion in Appendix D to avoid confusion.

    Prasenjit,


    Digests and security are connection level characteristics.

    The standard says:

    When Initiator and Target agree on a digest, this digest MUST be used
    for every PDU in full feature phase.

    Also, it appears that digests are a session-level parameter.

    Scenario:

    The first connection of a multiple-connection session agrees on digests
    and proceeds to full-feature phase with digests.

    What about the subsequent connections that try to login? Do these
    connections
    suspend digests during non-full feature phase and turn it on during
    full feature.

    The standard is silent on this issue.
