     node.session.auth.authmethod = CHAP
     

     By default, the node.session.auth.authmethod option is set to None.
   • Add target user name and password in the iscsid.conf file:

     node.session.auth.username = redhat
     node.session.auth.password = redhat_passwd

   # systemctl restart iscsid.service
