Figure 71 Add New User Information (Host) pane

NOTE:

You should register 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 host:

It does not matter whether or not 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.

Specify the following user information for the host you want to allow to connect:
• Target Name: Host bus adapter's iSCSI name. Select one from the list or enter the name

directly. In the list, all iSCSI names of host bus adapters connected to the selected port by

the cable appear. For more information about the characters and length you can specify

as an iSCSI name, see

iSCSI port and iSNS server settings

.

• User Name: Host's user name of the host up to 128 characters.

You can use alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols in a user name:
. - + @ _ = : / [ ] , ~
User names are case-sensitive. For example, host1 and Host1 represent different users.

• Secret: Secret (that is, a password used in CHAP authentication) between 12 to 32 characters.

You can use the same characters and symbols as a user name in a secret.

• Re-enter Secret: Specify the secret again for confirmation.
• Protocol: Protocol used in user authentication. This protocol is fixed to CHAP.

(Host) list.
