Description Fong Banh 2007-08-29 23:02:59 UTC
Description of problem:
The initiator does not log into the target. It retries a few times (5 default),
then the login procedure fails. If you comment out the CHAP related fields in
the iscsid.conf file, then login works fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The initiator does not log in to the target when mutual CHAP is enabled.

Expected results:
The initiator should be able to authenticate with the target and vice-versa so
we can initiate both a discovery and normal session.

Additional info:

Attach a etheral/writeshark trace.

Does mutual chap not work for normal and discovery sessions? If so could you run
iscsiadm with "-d 8" and send that output when you do discovery.

Also this is with the LSI target right? It seems to work fine for netapp and IET
among others.

Comment 2 Mike Christie 2007-08-30 23:00:21 UTC
Could you also send the iscsi.conf values for the usernames and passwords you
are using?

Comment 3 Tom Coughlan 2007-11-21 21:46:13 UTC
Please provide the information requested in commetns 1 and 2. 

Comment 4 Ronald Pacheco 2011-01-28 00:46:36 UTC
Given that the requested information has not been provided in over 3 years, I am closing this as insufficient data.
