Add New User Information dialog box
In this dialog box, specify the following user information for the host you want to allow to connect:
•
iSCSI Name: Specify the iSCSI name of the host bus adapter by selecting an HBA from the list or
entering it directly. The list displays all the iSCSI names of host bus adapters connected to the selected
port by the cable. For details on the characters and length you can specify as an iSCSI name, see
iSCSI port settings and iSNS server settings
•
Protocol: Specify the protocol used in the user authentication. The required value is CHAP.
•
User: Specify the user name of the host (up to 64 characters). If you select the Enable authentication
check box on the bottom-left, the user name is mandatory.
You can use alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols in a user name:
. - + @ _ = : / [ ] , ~
User names are case sensitive. For example, the user names host1 and Host1 represent different users.
•
Secret: Specify the secret (a password used in CHAP authentication). The secret can be between 12
and 32 characters. If you select the Enable authentication check box, the secret is mandatory.
You can use same characters and symbols as in a user name.
•
Re-enter Secret: Specify the secret, again, for confirmation.
•
Enable authentication: Select this check box when you want to perform user authentication of the
registered host. By default, this check box is selected.
If you clear this check box, the host connects to the disk array without authentication. When the Enable
authentication check box is deselected, you do not need to specify the User, Secret, and Re-enter
Secret boxes.
NOTE:
If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is configured for port authentication using CHAP,
the host cannot connect to the disk array even if you clear the Enable authentication check box.
