User & Access – iSCSI Target
User and Access control can be applied to iSCSI target device with User ID & Password as well as by Host IP of the client.
• Global Users define the access control for all iSCSI target devices within EN104L+(B). Having access as a global user allows this
user to scan and view all iSCSI target devices in the system.
• Target Users define the access control for individual iSCSI target device. Each target device may have different user ID and
password, thus, user may not have access to all of the target devices in the system.
• Host IP Blocking controls access to each iSCSI target device by allowing or disallowing Host IP addresses of the client. This
feature is a subset of Target Users, thus, each iSCSI target device must have its own Host IP Blocking list.
To Create User
:
There are two ways to control access at the user level:
1. Incoming: Incoming user and password controls any users that are trying to access the iSCSI target device from another host in the
network. This is the case for both Global Users and Target Users.
2. Outgoing: Outgoing user and password controls the authenticity of iSCSI target device to the inquiring user. This is to certify to
the incoming user that the system that they’re trying to access is indeed the system they’ve intended to access.
NOTE: This feature is not supported by all iSCSI initiators available. Please refer to your iSCSI initiator manual for details.
3. Incoming and Outgoing user applies to both Global User and Target User.
NOTE: Only 1 user ID and password is used for Outgoing user.
Global User:
1. Input user name
1. Input password
2. Confirm the password
3. Click on Add. This will create the user and add the user to the User List
4. Same steps are used for both Incoming and Outgoing Users
Target User:
1. Select the desired LV from the Select Logical Volume drop down bar
2. Input user name
3. Input password
4. Confirm password
5. Click on Add. This will create the user and add the user to the User List
6. Same steps are used for both Incoming and Outgoing Users
NOTE:
• Length of the password and character requirements depend on iSCSI Initiator used. Refer to your iSCSI Initiator manual for details.
• User list for iSCSI target devices, both Global and Target, is separate
from the User list that belongs to Local, NIS or, ADS.
