Authentication Area
• Authentication Method - Three options are available for the Authentication method: “None”, 
“One-Way CHAP” and “Mutual CHAP”. One-Way CHAP requires only that the authenticator 
(iSCSI target) authenticate the iSCSI initiator. Mutual CHAP requires that both the iSCSI target 
and iSCSI initiator authenticate each other. When “None” is selected, no authentication is 
performed.
• Target CHAP Name - The iSCSI login name sent by the initiator to the target for authentication. 
This parameter is required for both One-Way CHAP and Mutual CHAP authentication. The 
parameter is also known as the username. It can be any sequence of characters and numbers. 
The minimum length of the name is 1 character and the maximum length is 256 characters.
• Target Secret - The iSCSI login secret sent by the initiator to the target for authentication. This 
parameter is required for both One-Way CHAP and Mutual CHAP authentication. It can be any 
sequence of characters and numbers. The minimum length of the secret is 12 characters and 
maximum length is 16 characters.
• Initiator CHAP Name - The iSCSI login name sent by the target to the initiator for authentication. 
This parameter is only required for Mutual CHAP authentication. The parameter is also known 
as the username. It can be any sequence of characters and numbers. The minimum length of 
the name is 1 character and the maximum length is 256 characters.
• Initiator Secret - The iSCSI login secret sent by the target to the initiator for authentication. This 
parameter is only required for Mutual CHAP authentication. It can be any sequence of 
characters and numbers. The minimum length of the secret is 12 characters and the maximum 
length is 16 characters.

Note: Any changes to the iSCSI initiator name and alias apply to all ports on the adapter 
(i.e. all iSCSI ports share the iSCSI initiator name and alias).
Note: On Windows platforms running the Microsoft iSCSI initiator, the initiator iSCSI name 
is the Microsoft iSCSI iqn. If you change it, the change remains in effect until the 
system is rebooted. After reboot, the Microsoft iqn is used again as the iSCSI initiator 
name.
