iSCSI Session Authentication

The IPS module or MPS-14/2 module supports the iSCSI authentication mechanism to authenticate the iSCSI hosts that request access to the storage devices. By default, the IPS module or MPS-14/2 module allows CHAP or None authentication of iSCSI initiators.

To configure AAA authentication for an iSCSI user using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Switches > Security > AAA in the Physical Attributes pane.
  2. Click the Applications tab.
  3. Right-click on the ServerGroup Id List field for the iSCSI application and enter the server group that you want iSCSI to use.
  4. Note     You should use an existing server group or create a new server group before configuring it for iSCSI session authentication.

  5. Click the Apply Changes icon to save these changes.
