SANtegrity Enhanced Product Feature Enablement keys

SANtegrity Enhanced functionality is enabled using Product Feature Enablement (PFE) keys. See your

customer representative for information about PFE keys. The following functionality is provided by

SANtegrity Enhanced:

• SANtegrit

y binding—Enables you to specify WWNs for devices and switches that can attach to

blade port

s. This ensures that only the speciﬁed devices can attach to the ports.

• SANtegrity authentication—Enables the security administrator to conﬁgure authentication security

settings.Onlyauthorizedusersandsoftwarecanlogin.

SANtegrity binding

SANtegrity binding provides the following functions:

• Switch binding—This feature controls the devices that can connect to the device through an

Access Control List (ACL). The ACL can be applied to only N_Ports, E_Ports, or both. When

devices are denied access, a security log event is generated.

• Fabric binding—Implemented via a Fabric Binding Membership List using HAFM/EFCM or the

HAFM Basis/EFCM Basic/Embedded Web Server/EFCM Basic that is a fabric-wide service. If a

device is denied access to a fabric, a security event is logged. The query security attributes for

Fabric Binding are documented in the FC-SB-3 speciﬁcation. The base functionality for Fabric

Binding is included as an appendix to the FC-SP-1 standard.

SANte

grity authentication

SANtegrity supports the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). SANtegrity Authentication

provides the following functions:

• DH-CHAP Authentication for E_Ports—With a null option. Implemented according to the FC-SP

speciﬁcation. If a device is denied access or fails authentication, a security event is logged.

• DH-C

HAP Authentication for N_Ports—With a null option. Implemented according to the FC-SP

spec

iﬁcation. If a device is denied access or fails authentication, a security event is logged.

• CT-Authentication—Implemented according to the FC-GS-3 speciﬁcation. If an application is

denied access or fails authentication, a security event is logged.
