From the log messages it seems that your initiator connects to the target and then after one minute the connection gets closed.
Can you find out who is closing the connection? as in the initiator or the target?
What are you using the username and password for?
If you can provide the tcpdump it can be really helpful
use " tcpdump -i eth0 (ur network interface ... use the appropriate interface like eth0, eth1 ..) -s 0 -w <filename in which the dump will go> port xxxx (xxxx should be port number on which you are talking iSCSI .. by default it is 3260).
