As far as I know, your transactions/sessions with the iSNS server and those with the iSCSI target should be independent. The iSNS can give you target information and you can use it to connect to target and login. Targets themselves are iSNS clients like your initiator. They register the information with the iSNS server that you as an iSNS client can use to connect to the target. If there is a descrepency, your login can fail.
However, once way chap authentication is a minimum according to the standard and if your initiator offer this and the target mandates this, then there could be trouble during login.
