Mutual Authentication
The iSCSI TeraStation supports mutual authentication for security. Mutual authentication ensures that a computer will
recognize the TeraStation only when the mutual password set on each volume and the mutual authentication password
are a match. To configure Access Control via mutual authentication, refer to page 26.
Mutual Authentication password set to the TeraStation (Entire system):
In Settings, navigate to
Basic
-
Security
-

. Click
Modify Settings
, and select
Mutual
Authentication
for Access Control. If the password set on the computer matches the volume name in Volume, iSCSI
Connection Tool will be functional.
Note:
• If the volume name is not displayed in the Volume field, then the mutual authentication password on the computer
does not match. If this occurs, select
Configuration
in the iSCSI Connection Tool. Select

enter the correct password, then select
OK
.
Mutual Authentication password set to each volume:
In Settings, navigate to
iSCSI Volumes
-
iSCSI Volumes
. Click
Mutual Authentication
for Access Control and enter a new
password in Password (Mutual Authentication) field.
The password set here is used to connect to the volume. The mutual authentication password must also be set on the
computer in order to connect to the volume.
Mutual Authentication password set on the Computer Side
If you configure mutual authentication on a TeraStation or individual volumes, enter the same password as you set on
the TeraStation for access restrictions for each volume on the mutual authentication password screen. The password
you entered is maintained as a mutual authentication password on the computer. If there are multiple volumes, the
computer will only connect to the volumes which have the correct password. You cannot connect to multiple volumes
with different mutual authentication passwords. To connect to a volume with a different password, you must change
the password in iSCSI Connection Tool menu.
Note:
• If the mutual authentication password of the TeraStation and that of the volume are different, the volume name
will not be displayed on the main screen in iSCSI Connection Tool. Select
Settings
,
Set mutual CHAP Secret
,
OK
to
enter the matching password.
