Description

This command lists the CHAP secret that is configured for authenticating an entity to the system. The command also displays the configured iSCSI authentication method. The iscsi_auth_method field can have values of none or chap.

When you create an iSCSI host by using the mkhost command with the iscsiname parameter, the host is initially configured with the authentication method as none, and no CHAP secret is set. To set a CHAP secret for authenticating the iSCSI host with the system, use the chhost command with the chapsecret parameter.

This table provides the attribute values that can be displayed as output view data.
