ISCSI_TARGET_PORTAL_INFO_EXA structure (iscsidsc.h)

  • Article

The ISCSI_TARGET_PORTAL_INFO_EX structure contains information about login credentials to a target portal.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  CHAR                 InitiatorName[MAX_ISCSI_HBANAME_LEN];
  ULONG                InitiatorPortNumber;
  CHAR                 SymbolicName[MAX_ISCSI_PORTAL_NAME_LEN];
  CHAR                 Address[MAX_ISCSI_PORTAL_ADDRESS_LEN];
  USHORT               Socket;
  ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAGS SecurityFlags;
  ISCSI_LOGIN_OPTIONS  LoginOptions;
} ISCSI_TARGET_PORTAL_INFO_EXA, *PISCSI_TARGET_PORTAL_INFO_EXA;

Members

InitiatorName[MAX_ISCSI_HBANAME_LEN]

A string that represents the name of the Host-Bus Adapter (HBA) initiator.

InitiatorPortNumber

A ULONG value that represents the port number on the HBA associated with the portal.

SymbolicName[MAX_ISCSI_PORTAL_NAME_LEN]

A string that represents the symbolic name associated with the portal.

Address[MAX_ISCSI_PORTAL_ADDRESS_LEN]

A string that represents the IP address or DNS name associated with the portal.

Socket

A USHORT value that represents the socket number.

SecurityFlags

A pointer to an ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAGS structure that contains a bitmap that defines the security characteristics of a login connection.

Value Meaning
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_TUNNEL_MODE_PREFERRED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection in IPsec tunnel mode. Caller should set this flag or the ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_TRANSPORT_MODE_PREFERRED flag, but not both.
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_TRANSPORT_MODE_PREFERRED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection in IPsec transport mode. Caller should set this flag or the ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_TUNNEL_MODE_PREFERRED flag, but not both.
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_PFS_ENABLED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) mode enabled; otherwise, the initiator should make the connection with PFS mode disabled.
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_AGGRESSIVE_MODE_ENABLED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection with aggressive mode enabled. Caller should set this flag or the ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_MAIN_MODE_ENABLED flag, but not both.
Note  The Microsoft software initiator driver does not support aggressive mode.
 
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_MAIN_MODE_ENABLED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection with main mode enabled. Caller should set this flag or the ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_AGGRESSIVE_MODE_ENABLED flag, but not both.
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_IKE_IPSEC_ENABLED
 When set to 1, the initiator should make the connection with the IKE/IPsec protocol enabled; otherwise, the IKE/IPsec protocol is disabled.
ISCSI_SECURITY_FLAG_VALID
 When set to 1, the other mask values are valid; otherwise, the iSCSI initiator service will use bitmap values that were previously defined for the target portal, or if none are available, the initiator service uses the default values defined in the registry.

LoginOptions

A pointer to an ISCSI_LOGIN_OPTIONS structure that defines the login data.

Remarks

Note

The iscsidsc.h header defines ISCSI_TARGET_PORTAL_INFO_EX as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
