StarWind iSCSI SAN: Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

This document provides configuration instructions for Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) for authentication of users with StarWind software. CHAP protects against replay attacks and can limit access to all server targets at once or set permissions for each target separately. You may also limit access to certain targets, while allowing other targets to be shared by all. Additionally, you may use one-side authentication of mutual authentication.
