Abstract
Examples relate to updating login credentials of an iSCSI client in a Storage Area Network (SAN). In an example, an iSNS server may send a target notification to an iSCSI target device, the target notification including an instruction for the target device to update a target-side record of login credentials for an iSCSI client. iSNS server may receive a first target response message from iSCSI target device. In response, iSNS server may provide updated login credentials for the iSCSI client to the iSCSI target device. iSNS server may receive a second target response message. In response, iSNS server may send a client notification to iSCSI client to update a client-side record of login credentials. iSNS server may receive a first client response message. In response, iSNS server may provide the updated login credentials to the iSCSI client.
