Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system and method embodiments for secure communication between an initiator and a responder over a network. The responder receives, from the initiator, a security association initialization message to establish a security association with the responder including key material used to generate a key for the security association. The responder receives an authentication message from the initiator to program the responder to establish authentication between the responder and the initiator after establishing the security association. The responder sends an authentication message response to the initiator to establish authentication with the responder in response to the authentication message. The responder sends an authentication done message to the initiator after sending the authentication message response to cause the initiator to activate using the security association and the key to encrypt and decrypt communication between the responder and initiator.

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/0 in plaintext on the path, the host port enables encryption of data for I/O on the path.

Abstract: A host port is enabled for security. In response to a determination by the host port that authentication or security association negotiation with a storage port cannot be completed successfully, the host port determines whether an audit mode indicator has been enabled in a login response from the storage port. The host port preserves input/output (I/O) access to the storage port based on determining whether the audit mode indicator has been enabled in the login response from the storage port.

Abstract: Provided are computer program product, system, and method for determining whether a short or long message format is used to communicate zone information in a network. One large zone is implemented for end devices coupled to ports of data forwarders. A first formatted zoning distribution message is generated for the data forwarders identifying the data forwarder and ports on the data forwarders in the one large zone in response to determining that the data forwarder supports the short message format. A second formatted zoning distribution message is generated identifying the data forwarder, the ports on the data forwarders, and additional fields of information on the ports not included in the first formatted zoning distribution message in response to determining that the data forwarder does not support the short message format; and sending the generated first formatted or second formatted zoning distribution message to the data forwarder.
