CRC32C checksum. Possible values are “CRC32C” and “None”.

authenticate each other. When “None” is selected, no authentication is

performed.

authentication. This parameter is required for both One-Way CHAP and

Mutual CHAP authentication. It can be any sequence of characters and

numbers. The minimum length of the secret is 12 characters and maximum

length is 16 characters.

Initiator CHAP Name – The iSCSI login name sent by the target to the initiator

authentication. The parameter is also known as the username. It can be any

character and the maximum length is 256 characters.
