Hi All, I am using net-snmp 5.6.1. I have come across a weird scenario. I have trap and agent configuration. I am using snmpv3.
if I keep agent and trap username password credential different then all works fine. But problem comes when I keep the same user for snmp agent and trap but having different password. In this case, I can not access the snmp with agent username/password credentials. I get "Authentication failure " error. Surprisingly I can access the snmp through trap username/password credentials which I created through trapsess. I scrolled through the code and found that net-snmp maintain the user-list based on the engine-id and security name. Whereas in above scenaio, unfortunately both are same. So I suspect, snmpd has overwritten the trap configuration over agent's as it comes later in snmpd.conf. I can get rid of that situation if I put the restriction not to use same username but my customer doesn't want any restriction. Actually that is true as well. Because there is no sense to relate with agent credentials with trap. I am looking out for it's solution. If anybody has fixed this issue, can he/she provide me the pointer to the solution? Otherwise I am planning to fix it. And I welcome any suggestion and experience if anybody has on this problem to share with me.
