How to set iSCSI CHAP Username with OS6

Hi.

 

I upgraded my Ready NAS Pro 4 to Ready OS6 (thanks to Netgear, great support!!!) and like to use CHAP on my iSCSI connection to a debian VM. Before with OS4 I can set a username bit with OS6 I do not find something to set it. Somewhere I must have missed the necessary setting.

 

Cheers,

Nils

  • Hi augur,

     

    The username is the same as the local system initiator name set by your iSCSI initiator or the one's set under the IQN (initiator name). Try that and tell me if that works.

    Hi augur,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    You can still manually set your iSCSI initiator username but it does have a different character requirement. I suggest that you check this article to set it up properly.

      Hi Brian,

       

      I read this article before but it is for windows only. But perhaps you can comment the following:

      Linux CHAP

       

      This are the settings I have to enter in webmin to setup CHAP. What is the username shown here? In OS4 I have to enter name and password. In OS6 the username is missing. Or is it perhaps same as the IQN?

       

       

       

       

       

      Cheers,

      Nils
