Setting up CHAP authentication

The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is one method of protecting access to the

storage. When using CHAP, the same password (also called secret) is entered in both the storage

management software and the initiator software.
When an initiator attempts to access the target, the CHAP secrets stored in both software utilities are

compared. If the secrets match, access is granted. If the secrets do not match, access is denied.
Three methods of CHAP authentication are available. Choose one method:

Setting up storage-system target discovery CHAP authentication
Setting up target-specific initiator-to-target CHAP authentication
Setting up mutual CHAP authentication

Setting up storage-system target discovery CHAP authentication

Creating a CHAP secret that allows discovery of all targets in the storage system requires two steps:

Assigning a CHAP secret that applies to the storage system (

Step 1

).

Entering the same CHAP secret in the iSCSI initiator software (

Step 4

).
