Setting fibre channel authentication

When configuring a fibre channel environment, use the Authentication window to set user
authentication on host groups, fibre channel ports, and fabric switches of the storage system.
The hosts to be connected must be configured for authentication by host groups (and for
authentication of host groups by the host, if required). For details on how to configure the host for
CHAP authentication, see the documentation of the operating system and fibre channel driver in
your environment.
NOTE: In FCoE networks, user authentication is not supported.
The following topics provide information for managing user authentication on host groups, fibre
channel ports, and fabric switches:

"Fibre channel port authentication" (page 196)
