Initiator CHAP Secret

The initiator CHAP secret is set on the host using the iSCSI initiator configuration program provided with the host operating system. 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 7-1 for a list of valid ASCII characters.
