Usage Guidelines
The iSLB initiator can authenticate the Cisco MDS switch's initiator target during the iSCSI login phase.
This authentication requires the user to configure a username and password for the switch to present to
the iSLB initiator. The provided password is used to calculate a CHAP response to a CHAP challenge
sent to the IPS port by the initiator.
