7.6.4 Session
The session function allows you to view information on a session initiated by an iSCSI initiator application
(see Section 8), including Initiator Name, TPGT, Error Recovery Level, and Error Recovery Count.
Hover your mouse over the button in the “No.” column and click on “List connection.” It will list all the
connections of the session.
7.6.5 CHAP Account
CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is a common iSCSI authentication method. When
CHAP is enabled, RTX will require authentication at login through an iSCSI initiator (see Section 8).
Authentication also occurs at various times during the connection, by way of transferring the username,
initiator password (also called “initiator secret”), and target password (also called “target secret”). RTX
uses the same value for initiator secret and target secret. For added security, the authentication
information is hashed and a token is sent instead of the information itself.
a) To use CHAP, you will need to turn on CHAP authentication (see Section 7.6.3) and then follow
the steps there to set up a CHAP account.
b) After clicking on the “CHAP Account” option, you will see the following screen:
Click “Create” to create a new user. This brings up a screen with fields for User, Secret, and
Confirm. Enter a user name in the first field, and a 12-16 character password to use as the secret
in the second and third fields. Click the “Confirm” button.
c) The new CHAP account will appear on the main CHAP account screen:
