To add Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) to an iSCSI adapter, an administrator must access the Properties tab of the iSCSI adapter settings. This tab contains configuration options specific to the iSCSI adapter, including authentication settings.

Within the Properties section, there are typically options that allow administrators to configure the CHAP credentials, including a username, password, and any related security settings. This is essential for ensuring secure connections to iSCSI targets since CHAP provides an authentication mechanism to validate initiators and targets when they attempt to connect.

Other tabs such as Advanced Options, Targets, and Devices may provide different functionalities related to managing the iSCSI connection or configuration but do not include the specific settings for adding or managing CHAP. Advanced Options might include advanced settings for the adapter but would not typically focus on authentication protocols. The Targets tab is used for managing the iSCSI targets that the adapter connects to, and the Devices tab is generally used to manage storage devices visible to the system. None of these tabs include the necessary options to add CHAP settings.
