Configuration: Using iSCSI

Changing the iSCSI Target Authentication

To change the iSCSI target authentication:
1 In the AMW, select the Setup tab.
2 Select Manage iSCSI Settings.
The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed and by default, the
Target Authentication tab is selected. To change the authentication
settings, select:
• None—If you do not require initiator authentication. If you select the
None, any initiator can access the target.
• CHAP—To enable an initiator that tries to authenticate the target
using Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Define
the CHAP secret only if you want to use mutual CHAP
authentication. If you select CHAP, but no CHAP target secret is
defined, an error message appears. See "Creating CHAP Secrets" on
page 82.
3 To enter the CHAP secret, click CHAP secret.
The Enter Target CHAP Secret dialog is displayed.
4 Enter the Target CHAP secret.
NOTE:
The Target CHAP secret must be at least 12 characters and up to 57
characters.
5 Enter the exact same target CHAP secret in Confirm target CHAP secret.
NOTE:
If you do not want to create a CHAP secret, you can generate a
random CHAP secret automatically. To generate a random CHAP secret, click
Generate Random CHAP Secret.
6 Click OK.
NOTE:
You can select the None and CHAP at the same time, for example,
when one initiator might not have CHAP and the other initiator has only CHAP
selected.
