My backend creation process is stuck at "Waiting for backend creation". I created a cluster admin account with volume and account privileges and use it as EndPoint credentials. Then created a account under Management/Accounts and let Solidfire generated Initiator/Target secrets. Use this account as "TenantName" in backend. In the backend spec set "UseCHAP: true". Trident document does not describe how to set the chap secrets in backend spec. My guess is that it will log in with the admin account and get the secrets?

We use trident 23.01. Solidfire 12.7. Thanks for any help!

now the solidfire backend is bound and i can create a PVC. but when creating a pod to access the pvc, we get iscsi login error
MountVolume.MountDevice failed for volume "pvc-919d86fc-1604-482f-b116-a70099faef63" : rpc error: code = Internal desc = failed to stage volume: iSCSI login failed
but if we switch to a ontap-san-economy backend pvc, the pod can mount the volume successfully
