1To enable CHAP (optional), the following line needs to be enabled in your /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file: node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP
2To set a user name and password for CHAP authentication of the initiator by the target(s), edit the following lines:
node.session.auth.username = <iscsi_initiator_username>
node.session.auth.password = <CHAP_initiator_password>
3If you are using Mutual CHAP authentication, you can set the user name and password for CHAP authentication of the target(s) by the initiator by editing the following lines:
node.session.auth.username_in= <iscsi_target_username>
node.session.auth.password_in = <CHAP_target_password>
4To set up discovery session CHAP authentication, first uncomment the following line:
discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP
5Set a user name and password for a discovery session CHAP authentication of the initiator by the target(s) by editing the following lines:
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <iscsi_initiator_username>
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = <CHAP_initiator_password>
6To set the user name and password for discovery session CHAP authentication of the target(s) by the initiator for Mutual CHAP, edit the following lines:
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = <iscsi_target_username>
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password_in = <CHAP_target_password>
