chap=<enabled|disabled>
Enables or disables the use of Challenge Handshake
Protocol (CHAP) to authenticate the iSCSI
connection.
Note that this option is only valid if iSCSI booting is
enabled
(boot-type=iscsi
).
To be valid, this option also requires the following
sub-options to be specified:
username=<initiator username>
secret=<initiator password>
Example:
sfboot boot-type=iscsi chap=enabled
username=initiatorusername
secret=initiatorsecret
username=<username>
Specifies the CHAP initiator username (maximum 64
characters).
Note that this option is required if either CHAP or
Mutual CHAP is enabled (
chap=enabled,
mutual-chap=enabled
).
Note that if there are spaces contained in
<
username
>, then it must be wrapped in double
quotes (“”).
Example:
sfboot boot-type=iscsi chap=enabled
username=username
secret=<secret>
Specifies the CHAP initiator secret (minimum 12
characters, maximum 20 characters).
Note that this option is valid if either CHAP or Mutual
CHAP is enabled (chap=enabled,
mutual-
chap=enabled
).
Note that if there are spaces contained in <
secret
>,
then it must be wrapped in double quotes (“”).
Example:
sfboot boot-type=iscsi chap=enabled
username=username secret=veryverysecret
