Authenticating Targets (CHAP)

The ISP4010 firmware uses the challenge handshake authentication protocol

(CHAP) as an authentication mechanism between the iSCSI initiators (QLA4xxx

HBA ports) and the devices to which they are attached (targets). Authentication can

be disabled or enabled for a specific target or for all targets attached to the QLA4xxx

HBA port.

NOTE: The targets attached to the QLA4xxx HBA port must be programmed for

or support CHAP.

Perform the following steps to set up CHAP for the QLA4xxx HBA port and the

attached targets:

1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the HBA

port. Click the Target Settings tab. Click Config Authentication.

2. The Security Check dialog box displays. In the Enter Password box, type the

password. Click OK.

3. The Authentication Configuration dialog box (CHAP tabbed page) displays

(see figure 7-5).
