Be sure to read “iSCSI Configuration on the Snap Server” on page 73 before you

disconnected from that disk.
To use CHAP authentication

Click to put a check in the
Enable CHAP Logon
box.

Enter a user name and target secret (password). Both are case sensitive.
• The user name range is one to twenty alphanumeric characters.
• The target secret must be a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 16 characters.
GuardianOS Support for CHAP Security (Target Only)
CHAP is a network login protocol that uses a challenge-response mechanism to
control iSCSI initiator access to an iSCSI target. GuardianOS supports target
authentication, in which the initiator must provide the same CHAP user name and
password (or "target secret") that was configured on the target Snap Server iSCSI
disk. Other forms of CHAP authentication are not currently supported.
