7.2.3 Server Settings when CHAP Authentication is Used

The following operations are required for CHAP authentication.

• Setting the Initiator secret

(password setting to connect to the ETERNUS Disk storage system)

• Setting the Initiator CHAP Name

(CHAP name setting to connect to the ETERNUS Disk storage system)

• Enabling CHAP

Procedure

1 Set the Initiator secret.

This is a password that must be set so that the Initiator can connect to the target

ETERNUS Disk storage system. The CHAP secret set here must match that set in Target

information.

Example:

To set the password "initiator000"

2 Set the Initiator CHAP Name.

The Initiator Node Name is the default Initiator CHAP Name. Use the "iscsiadm" command

to set a new Initiator CHAP Name. The Initiator CHAP Name set here must match that set

in Target information.

Example:

To set "initiator" as the CHAP Name

Passwords are restricted to a maximum of 16 characters by the

Solaris operating system. For 17 or more characters, the following

message is output:

# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-secret

Enter secret:initiator000

Re-enter secret:initiator000

Iscsiadm: secret too long, maximum length is 16

Iscsiadm: Unable to complete operation

# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-name CHAP_Name

# iscsiadm modify initiator-node --CHAP-name initiator
