peer of a connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a “secret.” A secret is a security key that
is similar to a password.

NOTE: Use the chapSecret parameter only for initiators requiring mutual authentication.

NOTE: The targetAlias is a descriptive name that you can give to the target to help make it
easier to identify. You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores for the targetAlias. The targetAlias can have a maximum of 30 characters.
