=== Windows iSCSI forward authentication ===

== Test ==

Boot into a Windows XP operating system stored on an iSCSI target that requires forward CHAP authentication.

== DUT configuration ==

No physical disks present.  System configured to boot from NIC equipped with gPXE ROM.  NIC non-volatile storage configured with iSCSI username and password.

== Environment configuration ==

iSCSI target running IETD set up to require forward CHAP authentication.  DHCP server providing network configuration and iSCSI root-path, but not providing iSCSI username and password (which are held in the DUT's non-volatile storage).

== Result ==

Success is defined as reaching the Windows graphical login screen.

=== Detailed test procedure ===

== Prerequisites ==

  * Image of installation CD (in this test, XP Professional SP 2): ''dd if=/dev/cdrom of=winxp.iso''
  * QEMU
  * iscsitarget

== Windows Setup ==

Create hard disk image: ''qemu-img create -f raw hd.img 4G''

Boot setup CD in QEMU: ''qemu -hda hd.img -cdrom winxp.iso -boot d''

Install as usual.  Format as NTFS (quick) to save time, using the entire disk.

After the first reboot, allow booting from hard disk (do not press a key at the "Boot from CD" prompt).

First try at the graphical stage of setup got stuck at "Installing Devices" for at least an hour. TODO: investigate if this is due to kqemu or other environmental factors.  Restarting QEMU allows it to continue...
