30.Sh NAME
31.Nm iscsi.conf
32.Nd iSCSI initiator configuration file
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34The file
35.Nm ,
36is used by the
37.Xr iscsictl 8
38and
39.Xr iscontrol 8
40utilities.
41It contains declarations and parameter/key-options.
42The syntax is very simple,
43.D1 Li variable = value;
44and they can be grouped via a
45.Em block
46declaration:
47.Bf Li
48.Bd -literal
49	# this is a comment
50	target_1 { # nickname
51	   variable = value;
52	   ...
53	} # this must be on a line by itself.
54.Ed
55.Ef

57The following are specified in the iSCSI RFC 3720,
58for a full description see sections 11/12 of the RFC.
59.Bl -tag -width MaxConnections
60.It Cm AuthMethod
61currently only supported authentication method is CHAP, with
62digest either MD5 or SHA.
63Default is none.
64.It Cm HeaderDigest
65a
66.Em digest
67is calculated on the header of all iSCSI PDUs, and
68checked.
69Only CRC32C is implemented.
70Default is none.
71.It Cm DataDigest
72same as for HeaderDigest, but on the data part of the iSCSI PDU.
73(not yet tested)
74.It Cm TargetName
75is the name by which the target is known, not to be confused with
76target address, either obtained via the target administrator, or
77from a
78.Em discovery session .
79.It Cm InitiatorName
80if not specified, defaults to
81.Sy iqn.2005-01.il.ac.huji.cs:
82.Aq hostname .
83.It Cm TargetAddress
84is of the form
85.Sy domainname[:port][,portal-group-tag]
86to quote the RFC:
87.Bd -ragged -compact
88The domainname can be specified as either a DNS host name, a
89dotted-decimal IPv4 address, or a bracketed IPv6 address as specified
90in [RFC2732].
91.Ed
92Note: portal-group-tag is unused at the moment.
93.Em not implemented yet.
94.It Cm MaxRecvDataSegmentLength
95the maximum data segment length in
96bytes it can receive in an iSCSI PDU, default is 8192.
97.It Cm MaxOutstandingR2T
98is used to calculate/negotiate the
99.Em tag opening ,
100can be overridden by the
101.Sy tag
102option.
103.It Cm SessionType
104either Discovery or Normal, default is Normal, see the
105.Fl d
106flag of
107.Cm iscontrol .
108.El

110The following are not specified in the
111.Sy RFC 3720
112.Bl -tag -width sockbufsize
113.It Cm port
114The iSCSI port used by the iSCSI protocol, defaults to 3260.
115.It Cm tags
116Sets the
117.Em tag opening
118to the value specified.
119.It Cm maxluns
120overrides the compiled value of
121.Sy luns ,
122see
123.Xr iscsi_initiator 4 .
124This value can only be reduced.
125.It Cm sockbufsize
126sets the receiver and transmitter socket buffer size to
127.Em size ,
128in kilobytes.
129The default is 128.
130.El
131.sp
132If
133.Em AuthMethod
134is set to
135.Cm CHAP ,
136then the following must also be set:
137.Bl -tag -width chapSecret
138.It Cm chapSecret
139this
140.Em shared-secret .
141Can be either an ASCII string (e.g. hello world), a hex string (e.g
1420xababcd0987654321...), or base64 string (eg 0b...)
143.It Cm chapIName
144the chap-name, defaults to
145.Em hostname .
146.It Cm chapDigest
147can be MD5 or SHA1.
148.It Cm tgtChapName/tgtChapSecret
149name and secret used for mutual CHAP; by default, mutual CHAP
150is not used.
