What CHAP authentication is

Summary

Which is it? These 2 statements appear to contradict one another.

If you define an inbound user name and password on the storage system, you must use the same user name and password for outbound CHAP settings on the initiator. If you also define an outbound user name and password on the storage system to enable bidirectional authentication, you must use the same user name and password for inbound CHAP settings on the initiator.

You cannot use the same user name and password for inbound and outbound settings on the storage system.

Hi @wolftales, thanks for submitting this doc defect. This does sound confusing - I've reached out to engineering for clarification on what is meant here, and I'll update as soon as I have more info.
