ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to techniques for providing security in data storage systems that provide access to data by other systems, such as host computer systems. A data access manager generates access tokens that it assigns to storage locations that store data in one or more data storage assemblies in the data storage system. A host that makes a request to access specific storage locations having data must obtain an access token associated with those storage locations from the data access manager, and provide the access token with the request to the data storage system. The data storage system then authenticates the request based on the access token.
