iSCSI

Use the Settings > Networking > iSCSI page to manage security settings for Ethernet drives.

Security for Ethernet drives is managed with CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), a network login protocol.

There are two levels of CHAP authentication:
  • Initiator (one-way) authentication – The target (the drive) authenticates the initiator. The initiator is required to provide a user name and password.
  • Target (mutual) authentication – Provides additional security by authenticating both the initiator and the target. Both the initiator and the target must have user names and passwords.
Authentication is disabled by default. To change the security settings, select one of the following options from the Authentication menu:
  • Disabled
  • CHAP enabled
  • CHAP and NONE enabled
  • NONE enabled

You can specify security settings separately for discovery and for normal use.
