Select the OK button to save the settings. You can select Cancel to load
the dialog with the product's currently active values.
The lower part of the Device Authentication page is used to configure
authentication for remote devices. This part of the screen has the
following components:
• Attached Devices list and Detached Devices dialog—Used to specify
the devices for which you are configuring authentication.
• CHAP Secret dialog—Used to configure the CHAP secret to be
used by the device.
• Authentication Devices dialog—A list of the nodes for which
authentication is configured, used to add and remove devices
from the Authentication Devices list.
In order to be added to the Authentication Devices list, a device must
have a CHAP secret specified for it in the CHAP Secret dialog.
Devices are added to the CHAP Secret dialog as follows:
• Select a device from the Attached Devices list. The list is a
selectable (single-select only) list of WWNs of all devices that are
attached to the product. Use the arrow button to move the device
to the CHAP Secret dialog.
• Specify a detached device in the Detached Devices dialog. Enter a
valid WWN in the Node Name field. Select the Add button to move
the device to the CHAP Secret dialog.
When the CHAP Secret dialog has been populated, the WWN of the
device will be seen at the top of the dialog in un-editable text.
To specify a CHAP secret for the device, enter a 16-character CHAP
secret in the CHAP Secret field. Enter the same sequence of characters
in the Confirm Secret field.
Specify whether the device is an E_Port or an N_Port by selecting the
E_Port check box or the N_Port check box.
You can select the Clear button to clear the dialog of the shown
values.

Authentication Devices areas to add the device to the Authentication
