Abstract

A host port is enabled for security. The host port performs Input/Output (I/O) in plaintext on a path between the host port and a storage 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 host port and the storage port cannot be completed successfully. Concurrently with performing of I/O in plaintext on the path, the host port enables encryption of data for I/O on the path.
