Settings for authentication of hosts
• On the array:
Use LUN Manager to specify whether authentication of hosts is performed on each iSCSI target.
On an iSCSI target that performs authentication, register user information (iSCSI name, user name,
and secret) of hosts allowed to connect to the iSCSI target. A secret is a password used in CHAP
authentication. When registering user information, you can also enable or disable authentication
on a host basis. For more information about the settings, see
Enabling and disabling authentication
and
Registering a host's user information on an iSCSI target
.
• On hosts:
Configure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.
You must specify the host's user name and secret used for CHAP. For more information, see the
documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.
•
Settings for authentication of ports (required if performing mutual authentication)
• On the array:
Use LUN Manager to specify each iSCSI target's user information (user name and secret). For
more information about the settings, see
Specifying an iSCSI target's user information (when
performing mutual authentication)
• On hosts:
Configure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authenticating iSCSI targets with CHAP. You
must specify the user name and secret of the iSCSI target that is the connection target. For more
information, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.
The next section explains authentication of hosts and iSCSI targets.
Authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments)
When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the host
differ depending on the iSCSI target settings.
illustrates the relationship between iSCSI target
settings and the connection results.
