Ah yes, the fun of SNMP v3, where the simple in SNMP means "not very
simple at all".

First of all, try to get it working on the command line before trying
it in JFFNMS. There are so many moving parts and any one of them not
right will break it.

I've got it working on a Linux system and a Juniper SRX100, so its
possible.

I generally try for authNoPriv first. The reason why I do it on the
command line is it sometimes gives me more useful information. JFFNMS
just kinda says "nope, not working" and that's it. PHP support for
SNMPv3 is a little sad.

So I try things like:
$ snmpwalk -v3 -u GOODUSER -n "" -l authNoPriv -a SHA -A BADPASSWD 127.0.0.1 
system
snmpwalk: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key)
(Sub-id not found: (top) -> system)

or:
$ snmpwalk -v3 -u GOODUSER -n "" -l authNoPriv -a SHA -A GOODPASSWD 127.0.0.1 
system
(lots of system table goodness shown here)

If that works, then try to move onto authPriv if required. The reason
why you don't start with it is because its effectively double passwords
and its nearly impossible to work out what went wrong.

This is all of course SNMPv3 using the USM (User-based Security Model). 
JFFNMS and the PHP SNMP module don't support the DTLS method with
certificates.
