iStorage Server and IP SEC
This article demonstrates how to make a Security iSCSI Target under the Windows IP Security Policies (IP Sec) environment by using KernSafe iStorage Server.KernSafe iStorage Server is an advanced and powerful, full-featured software-only iSCSI Target that fully conforms to the latest iSCSI Standard 1.0 (former Draft 20). It is an IP SAN solution allowing you to quickly export existing storages such as disk images, VHD files, physical disks, partitions, CD/DVD-ROMs, tapes or any other type of SCSI based devices and even a variety of popular CD/DVD images to the client machines. The software thus delivers immediate benefits, as it allows storage to be consolidated, virtualized and centrally managed. iStorage Server also provides RAID-1 (mirror) feature enabling you to create two iSCSI devices for mirror backup. Furthermore, iStorage Server also supports a lot of features such as: VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) target, snapshots, STPI, RAID-1 and failover, these features are very important and poplar in storage industry world and make iStorage Server is suitable for any size of business.
After iStorage Server 2.0, it supports server side mirroring, synchronous replication and failover which allows user to create a high-availability iSCSI SAN.
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is an architecture defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 2401. This architecture involves several protocols that perform various functions in the architecture.
A network is not secure until servers can identify the computers communicating with them. IPSec enables secure, trusted communications between IP addresses. The system behind the IP address has an identity that is verified by using an authentication process. The only computers that must be aware of IPSec are the sending and receiving computers. Each computer handles security at its respective end, and assumes that the medium over which the communication takes place is not secure. Any computers that route data between the source and destination computer are not required supporting IPSec.
This article demonstrates how to make a Security iSCSI Target under the Windows IP Security Policies (IP Sec) environment by using KernSafe iStorage Server. Take Windows Server 2003 as an example, It is also similar to Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. At the same time, this article demonstrates how to use the two method of security policy in the iStorage Server, CHAP and IP Address authentication mechanism and how to configurate Local Security Policy in the both client and server side.
