iSCSI CHAP

The iSCSI Management–CHAP tab displays the current CHAP settings. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication agent (typically a network server) sends the client program a random value and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a predefined secret. The peer concatenates the random value, the ID, and the secret and calculates a one-way hash value. The hash value is sent to the authenticator, which in turn builds that same string on its side, calculates the sum, and compares the result with the value received from the peer. If the values match, the peer is authenticated.
