To summarize the differences between target CHAP and mutual CHAP

authentication, see Table A-3.

Step 5: Configure CHAP Authentication on the

Storage Array (Optional)

If you are configuring CHAP authentication of any kind (either target-only or

target and mutual), you must complete this step and "Step 5: Configure

CHAP Authentication on the Storage Array (Optional)" on page 65.
If you are not configuring any type of CHAP, skip these steps and go to "Step

7: Connect to the Target Storage Array From the Host Server" on page 71.

NOTE:

If you choose to configure mutual CHAP authentication, configure target

CHAP first.

CHAP Type

Description

Target CHAP

Sets up accounts that iSCSI initiators use to connect to the

target storage array. The target storage array then authenticates

the iSCSI initiator.

Mutual CHAP

Applied in addition to target CHAP, mutual CHAP sets up an

account that a target storage array uses to connect to an iSCSI

initiator. The iSCSI initiator then authenticates the target.
