autosecrets File
Purpose
Configures iSCSI target passwords.
Description
The autosecrets file is used to configure iSCSI target passwords. You can use comments in the autosecrets file. The comment character is "#", and must be the first character on the line.
This file contains one entry per target.
Each entry has the following format:
target_name chap_name chap_secret- target_name
- The ODM name of the target.
- chap_name
- The CHAP name associated with this password. The iSCSI initiator identifies itself by sending this name to the iSCSI target during the authentication process.
- chap_secret
- The password, enclosed in double quotation marks.
You can use the line continuation character backslash (\) to make each entry easier to read.
Examples
If the target
ODM name is
target0, the CHAP name is iqn.com.ibm-K167-42.fc1a, and the chap_name is secret.fc1a, the entry
looks like the following example: target0 iqn.com.ibm-K167-42.fc1a "secret.fc1a"The following example has the same target, chap_name, and chap_secret, but with a line continuation character.
target0 iqn.com.ibm-K167-42.fc1a \
"secret.fc1a"
