<title>Configuring and Using Authentication</title>
<body>
<p>
The following components of Oracle VM VirtualBox can use passwords for
authentication:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
When using remote iSCSI storage and the storage server
requires authentication, an initiator secret can optionally
be supplied with the <userinput>VBoxManage
storageattach</userinput> command. As long as no settings
password is provided, by using the command line option
<codeph>--settingspwfile</codeph>, then this secret is
stored <i>unencrypted</i> in the machine
configuration and is therefore potentially readable on the
host. See <xref href="storage-iscsi.dita">iSCSI Servers</xref> and
<xref href="man_VBoxManage-storageattach.dita">VBoxManage storageattach</xref>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When using the Oracle VM VirtualBox web service to control an
Oracle VM VirtualBox host remotely, connections to the web service
are authenticated in various ways. This is described in
detail in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Software Development Kit (SDK)
reference. See <xref href="VirtualBoxAPI.dita#VirtualBoxAPI"/>.

</ul>
