You might want to configure preshared keys if you want to use a simple encryption system on a pair of end stations. Preshared key
configuration requires manual management on each
end-station.
To configure preshared keys, you must create an ASCII text string
and store it on your storage system and the client that will be
sharing the secure connection.
Steps
- Create a file named psk.txt in the /etc directory.
- Decide an ASCII text key that you will use for authenticating
client and storage system.
- In the psk.txt file, enter a line using the following format:
ip_address key
ip_address
is the IP address of the client.
key
is the preshared
key you decided upon.
- Copy this file to both the storage system and the client.
