SOLVED Authentication Failure when Connecting to Mutual CHAP iSCSI on Windows. No Problems on linux.

[bodriye]

Hi,

I am trying to use mutual chap auth with iSCSI but it won't work on windows. I keep getting Authentication Failure when I try to discover target.
I used the steps outlined in offical iSCSI video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvyOWlFISdo (windows part starts at about 10 minute mark)

Do I need to enter peer or user secret under configuration tab and clicking the CHAP... button? I tried both and still no luck.

I changed the authentication to None and it gave the same error. Then I changed it to CHAP and still it gave auth failure. Please help.

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING: Changed the discovery auth method to none and auth group to none under portal tab and it worked!!! Had to enter the peer password in configuration tab on iscsi initiator but it worked!!!

I'm having the exact same issue, all and all this should not be rocket science configuring a tab more security than just an open targets but seems little effort has been placed in this category. Maybe that's down the pike. In my research, I found this article on you tube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlbSR3_vks8&t=4378s
