Using iSCSI 33
must enter the same CHAP secret that is defined in the iSCSI initiator, and
you must define a CHAP secret on the target (the storage array) that must be
configured in every iSCSI initiator that will connect to the target. For more
information on CHAP, see "Understanding CHAP Authentication" in the
Installation Guide.
Initiator CHAP Secret
The initiator CHAP secret is set on the host using the iSCSI initiator. If you
are using the mutual authentication method, you must define the initiator
CHAP secret when you set up the host. This must be the same CHAP secret
that is defined for the target when defining mutual authentication settings.
Target CHAP Secret
If you are using CHAP secrets, you must define the CHAP secret for the
target.
Valid Characters for CHAP Secrets
The CHAP secret must be between 12 and 57 characters. The CHAP secret
supports characters with ASCII values of 32 to 126 decimal. See Table 3-1 for
a list of valid ASCII characters.
