Specifies a CHAP password to be used for target authentication, which allows the volume (iSCSI target) to be authenticated by the host (iSCSI initiator).
Note: You must also specify the target authentication user name, as described in grpparams target-auth-username.
You cannot use target authentication without also setting up initiator authentication, as described in chapuser and grpparams cliaccess-ssh . Using both initiator and target authentication is called mutual authentication.
