Configuring iSCSI Login Keys

[-M <portal-grp-tag>]]

The order in which the login values are listed in this command defines the order in which the iSCSI initiator

proposes them to the target. The login keys and values are not case-sensitive.

The configurable login keys currently available are:

• HeaderDigest

A header digest that can be negotiated during iSCSI login. The list of parameters that the HeaderDigest

key can accept are:

None

CRC32C

• DataDigest

A data digest that can be negotiated during iSCSI login. The list of values that the DataDigest key can

accept are:

None

CRC32C

• AuthMethod

An authentication method that can be negotiated during iSCSI login. The list of values that the

AuthMethod key can accept are:

None

CHAP

The order of precedence of login key configuration is as follows:

(a) iSCSI Target Address level

(b) iSCSI Target level

Configuration of login keys at the Discovery target level is not possible, because Discovery targets are not

identified by iSCSI target names.

Configuration of login keys for Discovery target addresses does not involve defining the iSCSI target names.

For Operational targets (addresses), the target names should be defined.

NOTE One or two login key values may be specified for each of the login keys listed above, however, no

more than two login key values can be specified for a login key.

Header and Data Digest Configuration Examples

Configure the HeaderDigest key with "None,CRC32C" as the value for all targets:

# iscsiutil -t headerdigest None CRC32C

Configure the DataDigest key with "CRC32C,None" as the value for a particular Discovery Target Address

which is already configured:

# iscsiutil -t datadigest CRC32C None -I 192.1.1.58 -M 2

Configure the DataDigest key with "CRC32C,None" as the value for an Operational Target:
