I have zero experience with opensuse, but this is what we do with our network appliance targets in centos.
Steps
- Open the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file with a text editor.
- Enable CHAP authentication by setting node.session.auth.authmethod to CHAP, the default is None.
node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP
- Provide a CHAP user name and password for the target to use when authenticating the initiator. You must remove the comment indicators and supply values for the options username and password in the following configuration entries:
node.session.auth.username = username
node.session.auth.password = password
- Provide a CHAP user name and password for the initiator to use when
authenticating the target. You must remove the comment indicators and
supply values for the options username_in and password_in in the
following configuration entries:
node.session.auth.username_in = username_in
node.session.auth.password_in = password_in
For a successful session discovery, enable discovery CHAP
authentication by supplying the passwords in the
discovery.sendtargets.auth. options.
Note: The user name and password must match for both session and discovery on the host. Ensure that you use the same user names and passwords that you used when you set up CHAP on the storage system with the iscsi security command.
discovery.sendtargets.auth.authmethod = CHAP
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username = username
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password = password
discovery.sendtargets.auth.username_in = username_in
discovery.sendtargets.auth.password_in = password_in
After this steps, proceed the discovery as usual
# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p <portalip>
