I have a fully updated Fedora 18 box with kernel 3.9.4-200.
I'd like to use the technique listed here:
http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI#TPG_Authentication
Specifically, "Setting up authentication information for every single
initiator separately can be cumbersome, so targetcli provides the
capability to define common login information for all Endpoints in a
TPG. As a result, all initiators connecting to that TPG can use the
same login credentials."
The only problem is that the kernel doesn't appear to support this?? I
don't see an "auth" directory under the tpgt directory.
Help?
So TPG authentication has not been included into mainline + targetcli as
of yet, so it actually should not be on the wiki..
That said, it's an TODO item on my list to add proper support for v3.11
-> v3.12 mainline kernel code.

Added generic auth support in ui_node
* Replaces Node ACL ad-hoc auth support
* Allows auth support in TPGT (recently added in iSCSI)
Actually support was added to targetcli in Dec 2011.
Obviously this is another feature that has been in your proprietary
product for *years*. Can you at least be upfront with us on what the
features you have implemented but not yet shared publicly are, and what
your schedule for open-sourcing them is? Or at least highlight the
differences on the linux-iscsi.org website? Because people look at that
website and assume those features are in the mainline Linux kernel.
