Hi Wes! Thanks for your help!
At the moment I restrict the elements using rwuser USER1 authnopriv 1.3.6.1 rwuser USER2 authpriv 1.3.6.1 Is there a better way to do it? Besides that if I could get the user name it will be very useful because I need to differentiate users. I want that the two users access to the same elements but only one user can set the element with a particular value... That's why it would be very useful to differentiate the users by the name. Can you give me more clues?

Yes there is a way to get that information but it is very very very very very very very discouraged. You shouldn't do it. It prevents the code from work in other SNMP version cases (SNMPv1/SNMPv2c or a future SNMPv4) and it prevents it from working properly in subagent type cases (agentx or proxying). The VACM settings are the right way to control access. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
