gfapi uses the GlusterFS protocol. When access through the protocol is
denied, only clients from within the trusted storage pool can use it.
gfapi is just a client, similar to the FUSE mount.

There are the 'auth.allow' and 'auth.reject' volume options. I think
they would be used as an alternative to a "turn off glusterfs protocol"
feature.
