Abstract
A storage port is enabled for security. The storage port performs Input/Output (I/O) in plaintext on a path between the storage port and a host port, in response to determining that an audit mode indicator has been enabled to allow I/O even if authentication or security association negotiation between the storage port and the host port cannot be completed successfully. Concurrently with performing of I/O in plaintext on the path, the storage port enables encryption of data for I/O on the path.
