Subject: OPAL setup for a new drive without sedutil initial setup
Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2024 03:21:29 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <NtEMHPl--3-9@grigr.xyz> (raw)
Hello,
I was about to set up a new machine and I was about to use OPAL the "old" way. And then I discovered that cryptsetup now supports OPAL! Thanks :)
However, something is not clear to me from the documentation. When I tried "luksFormat", I was prompted for both passphrase and OPAL Admin password. For the former it is clear, this is the passphrase for LUKS2 itself. However, I never configured OPAL on this drive, thus, it does not have an Admin1 password (and SID) set at all.
Does it mean I still need to use "sedutil-cli --initialsetup" before using cryptsetup or...or I do not understand what is expected :) The documentation seems to suggest that this password needs to be provided only when initial setup was done. Should I enter an empty one then? And if so, what my actual Admin1 password will be after setup is complete?
Thanks!
