To configure CHAP for a VTL device target on the AWS Storage Gateway console
In this procedure, you specify two secret keys that are used to read and write to a virtual tape. These
same keys are used in the procedure to configure the client initiator.
1. In the navigation pane, choose
Gateways
.
2. Choose your gateway, and then choose the
VTL Devices
tab to display all your VTL devices.
3. Choose the device you want to configure CHAP for.
4. Provide the requested information in the
Configure CHAP Authentication
dialog box, shown in the
screenshot following:
a. For
Initiator Name
, type the name of your iSCSI initiator.
You can find the initiator name by using your iSCSI initiator software. For example, for
Windows clients, the name is the value on the
Configuration
tab of the iSCSI initiator. For more
information, see
To configure mutual CHAP on a Windows client (p. 380)
.
Note
To change an initiator name, you must first disable CHAP, change the initiator name in
your iSCSI initiator software, and then enable CHAP with the new name.
b. For
Secret used to Authenticate Initiator
, type the secret requested.
This secret must be a minimum of 12 characters and a maximum of 16 characters long. This
value is the secret key that the initiator (that is, the Windows client) must know to participate in
CHAP with the target.
c.
For
Secret used to Authenticate Target (Mutual CHAP)
, type the secret requested.
This secret must be a minimum of 12 characters and a maximum of 16 characters long. This
value is the secret key that the target must know to participate in CHAP with the initiator.
