how to use CHAP

Problem/Symptom

CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) authenticates a user or network host to an authenticating entity. CHAP requires that both the client and server know the plaintext of the password/secret, although it is never sent over the network.

CHAP also can prevent an iSCSI LUN being accessed by multiple hosts.
