<h3>Usage type "volume"</h3>
<h3><a name="VolumeUsageType">Usage type "volume"</a></h3>
<p>
This secret is associated with a volume, and it is safe to delete the
secret after the volume is deleted. The <code>&lt;usage
type='volume'&gt;</code> element must contain a
single <code>volume</code> element that specifies the key of the volume
this secret is associated with.
this secret is associated with. For example, create a volume-secret.xml
file as follows:
</p>
<h3>Usage type "ceph"</h3>
<pre>
&lt;secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'&gt;
&lt;description&gt;Super secret name of my first puppy&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;uuid&gt;0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f&lt;/uuid&gt;
&lt;usage type='volume'&gt;
&lt;volume&gt;/var/lib/libvirt/images/puppyname.img&lt;/volume&gt;
&lt;/usage&gt;
&lt;/secret&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Define the secret and set the pass phrase as follows:
</p>
<pre>
# virsh secret-define volume-secret.xml
Secret 0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f created
#
# MYSECRET=`printf %s "open sesame" | base64`
# virsh secret-set-value 0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f $MYSECRET
Secret value set
#
</pre>
<p>
The volume type secret can then be used in the XML for a storage volume
<a href="formatstorageencryption.html">encryption</a> as follows:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;encryption format='qcow'&gt;
&lt;secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f'/&gt;
&lt;/encryption&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a name="CephUsageType">Usage type "ceph"</a></h3>
<p>
This secret is associated with a Ceph RBD (rados block device).
The <code>&lt;usage type='ceph'&gt;</code> element must contain

this usage name via the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element of
a <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsDisks">disk device</a> or
a <a href="formatstorage.html">storage pool (rbd)</a>.
<span class="since">Since 0.9.7</span>.
<span class="since">Since 0.9.7</span>. The following is an example
of the steps to be taken. First create a ceph-secret.xml file:
</p>
<h3>Usage type "iscsi"</h3>
<pre>
&lt;secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'&gt;
&lt;description&gt;CEPH passphrase example&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;auth type='ceph' username='myname'/&gt;
&lt;usage type='ceph'&gt;
&lt;name&gt;ceph_example&lt;/name&gt;
&lt;/usage&gt;
&lt;/secret&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Next, use <code>virsh secret-define ceph-secret.xml</code> to define
the secret and <code>virsh secret-set-value</code> using the generated
UUID value and a base64 generated secret value in order to define the
chosen secret pass phrase.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh secret-define ceph-secret.xml
Secret 1b40a534-8301-45d5-b1aa-11894ebb1735 created
#
# virsh secret-list
UUID Usage
-----------------------------------------------------------
1b40a534-8301-45d5-b1aa-11894ebb1735 cephx ceph_example
#
# CEPHPHRASE=`printf %s "pass phrase" | base64`
# virsh secret-set-value 1b40a534-8301-45d5-b1aa-11894ebb1735 $CEPHPHRASE
Secret value set
#
</pre>
<p>
The ceph secret can then be used by UUID or by the
usage name via the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element in a domain's
<a href="formatdomain.html#elementsDisks"><code>&lt;disk&gt;</code></a>
element as follows:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;auth username='myname'&gt;
&lt;secret type='ceph' usage='ceph_example'/&gt;
&lt;/auth&gt;
</pre>
<p>
As well as the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element in a
<a href="formatstorage.html">storage pool (rbd)</a>
<code>&lt;source&gt;</code> element as follows:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;auth type='ceph' username='myname'&gt;
&lt;secret usage='ceph_example'/&gt;
&lt;/auth&gt;
</pre>
<h3><a name="iSCSIUsageType">Usage type "iscsi"</a></h3>
<p>
This secret is associated with an iSCSI target for CHAP authentication.
The <code>&lt;usage type='iscsi'&gt;</code> element must contain
a single <code>target</code> element that specifies a usage name
for the secret. The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID or by
for the secret. The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID or by
this usage name via the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element of
a <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsDisks">disk device</a> or
a <a href="formatstorage.html">storage pool (iscsi)</a>.
<span class="since">Since 1.0.4</span>.
<span class="since">Since 1.0.4</span>. The following is an example
of the XML that may be used to generate a secret for iSCSI CHAP
authentication. Assume the following sample entry in an iSCSI
authentication file:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;target iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-pool&gt;
backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk1
backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk2
incominguser myname mysecret
&lt;/target&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Define an iscsi-secret.xml file to describe the secret. Use the
<code>incominguser</code> username used in your iSCSI authentication
configuration file as the value for the <code>username</code> attribute.
The <code>description</code> attribute should contain configuration
specific data. The <code>target</code> name may be any name of your
choosing to be used as the <code>usage</code> when used in the pool
or disk XML description.
</p>
<h2><a name="example">Example</a></h2>
<pre>
&lt;secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'&gt;
&lt;description&gt;LUKS passphrase for the main hard drive of our mail server&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;usage type='volume'&gt;
&lt;volume&gt;/var/lib/libvirt/images/mail.img&lt;/volume&gt;
&lt;description&gt;Passphrase for the iSCSI example.com server&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;auth type='chap' username='myname'/&gt;
&lt;usage type='iscsi'&gt;
&lt;target&gt;libvirtiscsi&lt;/target&gt;
&lt;/usage&gt;
&lt;/secret&gt;</pre>
&lt;/secret&gt;
</pre>
<p>
Next, use <code>virsh secret-define iscsi-secret.xml</code> to define
the secret and <code>virsh secret-set-value</code> using the generated
UUID value and a base64 generated secret value in order to define the
chosen secret pass phrase. The pass phrase must match the password
used in the iSCSI authentication configuration file.
</p>
<pre>
# virsh secret-define secret.xml
Secret c4dbe20b-b1a3-4ac1-b6e6-2ac97852ebb6 created
# virsh secret-list
UUID Usage
-----------------------------------------------------------
c4dbe20b-b1a3-4ac1-b6e6-2ac97852ebb6 iscsi libvirtiscsi
# MYSECRET=`printf %s "mysecret" | base64`
# virsh secret-set-value c4dbe20b-b1a3-4ac1-b6e6-2ac97852ebb6 $MYSECRET
Secret value set
#
</pre>
<p>
The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID or by the
usage name via the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element in a domain's
<a href="formatdomain.html#elementsDisks"><code>&lt;disk&gt;</code></a>
element as follows:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;auth username='myname'&gt;
&lt;secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/&gt;
&lt;/auth&gt;
</pre>
<p>
As well as the <code>&lt;auth&gt;</code> element in a
<a href="formatstorage.html">storage pool (iscsi)</a>
<code>&lt;source&gt;</code> element as follows:
</p>
<pre>
&lt;auth type='chap' username='myname'&gt;
