Re: iSCSI: CHAP Question

[Steve Senum <ssenum@cisco.com>]

These are additional algorithms that can be negotiated
with the CHAP_A key, and are not compatible with the algorithm
in RFC 1994.  I don't know if anyone has implemented
them in iSCSI.  RFC 2433 and RFC 2759 are informational,
so there use is optional.

All,

 

Since now the CHAP will be the MUST for the in-band secured authentication, I
have a question regarding the CHAP RFCs.

In the draft 12-96, it refers to [RFC 1994] for CHAP. However, there are also
[RFC 2433] (MS-CHAP v1) and [RFC 2759] (MS-CHAP v2)
which claimed consistent of [RFC 1994].

Anyone knows if they are compatible or not? Could implementer choose to use
either version, and would that cause interoperability issue?

 

Thanks!
