If a Fibre Channel switch is configured for authentication by ports with CHAP, authentication of the host fails. To allow such
a Fibre Channel switch to connect to the port without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by ports with CHAP.
For more information about authentication of hosts, see Authentication of Fibre Channel switches.
Specifying a Fibre Channel port's information
To perform user authentication in Fibre Channel environments, you must specify information for the
Fibre Channel ports of the array.
1. Start XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software, and display the Authentication pane
(Figure 30).
2. In the Port tree, double-click the Subsystem folder. If the array contains Fibre Channel adapters,
the Fibre folder appears below the Subsystem folder. The port's information appears in the Port
Information list.
