Storage & TrueNAS Guide

TrueNAS authentication, API key only mode, TLS policy, SSH, and evidence semantics
ITAuditFactory ISO 27001 Audit Toolkit 2.0.0-RC65

Authentication choices

ModeITAuditFactory requires
API key onlyManagement address + encrypted API key. API-key owner/account is optional evidence metadata and is not required for authentication.
Username + passwordService account or root username and encrypted password where the appliance permits it.
SSH service account + key/agentSSH username and key/agent configuration; passwords are never placed on native SSH command lines.

Legacy compatibility

Saved profiles labeled Service account + API key or REST API token remain compatible aliases for API-key authentication.

TLS

Strict certificate validation is the default. A per-device Allow untrusted/private TLS certificate for read-only collection only exception can permit evidence collection, but the certificate problem remains a warning/Needs Review; the exception never converts certificate health to PASS.

TrueNAS protocol note

The collector must report protocol/API availability as evidence. If the configured TrueNAS release does not support a requested endpoint, report NO_DATA/collection limitation rather than fabricating PASS/FAIL.

Troubleshooting

Use Live Audit Status to confirm worker start, Storage profile load, authentication mode, endpoint attempt, and returned error. Re-save the encrypted secret if the handoff cannot be opened under the current Windows user.
