ESX no data-in-flight encryption for NFS Datastores?

  • 1.  ESX no data-in-flight encryption for NFS Datastores?

    Posted Jul 19, 2022 10:10 AM

    Hello,

    does vmware really not support data-in-flight encryption (krb5p) for NFS Datastores?
    I found this doc:

    https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-8A929FE4-1207-4CC5-A086-7016D73C328F.html

    But really can't believe VMware only supports krb5 (end user authentication) and krb5i (integrity protection).

    Does anyone know if krb5p is on the roadmap?

    No update on the question, but if you need encryption you can do VM Level Encryption through vSphere.
