Try changing this to com2sec -Cn context1 user1 default public1 and run the query using "-c public1" > rwuser user1 noAuthNoPriv .1.3.6.1 > createUser user1 MD5 user123 DES I'd also suggest that you use a *different* username in the "com2sec" line, from your rwuser/createUser settings. These are all completely separate access control settings - so re-using the same names will lead to confusion (at best), or a broken setup. > As mentioned in snmpd.conf man page, com2sec converts the community name > to security name in the given context.

Probably because you've got other access control stuff that's being used instead. Always try working with the smallest possible snmpd.conf file. Once you've got each individual bit working, you can look at stitching it all together.
