Greetings, net-snmp folks! Sorry, if this has been discussed before or is mentioned in the docs - haven't found info about this issue (only about the minimal length of the passwords).
I installed net-snmp 5.7.3 on Ubuntu Linux 16.04.3 LTS (x86_64). I created SNMPv3 user using net-snmp-config: net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "aaaaaaaaa" myuser3 I tried to access sysDescr OID: Valid password: snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser3 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A "aaaaaaaaa" -mALL -M /home/user/net-snmp/mibs localhost sysDescr SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux ubuntu-pc 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 Invalid ones: snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser3 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A "aaaaaaaa" -mALL -M /home/user/net-snmp/mibs localhost sysDescr SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux ubuntu-pc 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser3 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A "aaaaaaadddaa" -mALL -M /home/user/net-snmp/mibs localhost sysDescr snmpwalk: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key) (Sub-id not found: (top) -> sysDescr) snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser3 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A "aaaaaaaaaaaa" -mALL -M /home/user/net-snmp/mibs localhost sysDescr SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux ubuntu-pc 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:07:41 UTC 2017 x86_64 Why have requests succeeded in case of "aaaaaaaa" and "aaaaaaaaaaaa"? After that I created another user "myuser2" with password "aaaaaaaa" and checked /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf usmUser 1 3 0x80001f88801017fc5c779da55800000000 "myuser2" "myuser2" NULL .1.3.6.1.6.3.10.1.1.2 0x706e8678f90dd89addf77ed13b2e7093 .1.3.6.1.6.3.10.1.2.2 0x706e8678f90dd89addf77ed13b2e7093 0x usmUser 1 3 0x80001f88801017fc5c779da55800000000 "myuser3" "myuser3" NULL .1.3.6.1.6.3.10.1.1.2 0x706e8678f90dd89addf77ed13b2e7093 .1.3.6.1.6.3.10.1.2.2 0x706e8678f90dd89addf77ed13b2e7093 0x Seems, that their hashes are same. Is it as intended? Thank you for your help!
