I think there is not elegant way to do this.. I follow those steps:

1) Set discovery.sendtargets.{auth,password} in iscsid.conf for target-1 
+ restart iscsid service.

2) Set CHAP settings for target-1 + connect:

# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -o update 
-n node.session.auth.username -v ${USERNAME}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -o update 
-n node.session.auth.password -v ${PASSWORD}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME1} -p ${PORTAL1} -l

3) Disconnect from target-1:

# iscsiadm -m node --logoutall all

4) Set discovery.sendtargets.{auth,password} in iscsid.conf for target-2 
+ restart iscsid service.

5) Set CHAP settings for target-2 + connect:

# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -o update 
-n node.session.auth.username -v ${USERNAME}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -o update 
-n node.session.auth.password -v ${PASSWORD}
# iscsiadm -m node --targetname ${TARGETNAME2} -p ${PORTAL2} -l

It works! Now you can login/logout in both iSCSI targets:

# iscsiadm -m node --logoutall all
# iscsiadm -m node --loginall all

Cheers,
