Regardless of the setting on the host, the iSCSI target performs authentication of the host, but results

in a failure. The host cannot connect to the array.

• Case D: When connecting via an iSCSI target that does not perform authentication of hosts

The host connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the host

is conﬁgured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

In this case, although you do not need to register the host's user information on the iSCSI target,

you can register the user information.

CAUTION:

If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is conﬁgured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP,

authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect to the port without authentication, do

not conﬁgure it for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

NOTE:

You should register the user information for all hosts to be connected to an iSCSI target that performs

authentication of hosts. To allow a speciﬁc host to connect to such an iSCSI target without authentication,

conﬁgure the iSCSI target and the host as follows:

• On the iSCSI target:

disable the host's authentication setting.

• On the host:

It does not matter if you conﬁgure the host for authentication by ports with CHAP.

However, if the host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, do not conﬁgure the host for authentication by ports

with CHAP.

Figure 13 shows an example of authentication of hosts. In this ﬁgure, iSCSI names of host bus adapters
