Hi you all, 

 

I'm new in the world of net-snmp but I'm trying to understand it fast. Me and 
my co-worker have a problem about changing passwords using the command snmpusm, 
when those have been defined in the snmp.conf file. We are using net-snmp 
version 5.3.2. 

In the next lines there is a small description of what has been done and what 
is generating problems:

 

Sample of snmp.conf

...

rwuser user1 authnopriv

rwuser user2 authpriv

 

createUser user1 MD5 pass1

createUser user2 MD5 pass2 DES pass2

...

 

 

The soluction we have encounter to change the password of user1 through user2 
is to delete him and create a new one with same name. After that it is possible 
to change the password of this new user. 

 

We cannot change directly the password of any user using only the next commands:

 

Commands tested:

 

snmpusm -v 3 -u user2 -n "" -l authPriv -a MD5 -A pass2 -x DES -X pass2 
localhost passwd pass2 pass2_n

Error in packet.

Reason: inconsistentName (That object can not currently be created)

Failed object: 
SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserOwnAuthKeyChange.".....zzzzz"."pass2"

 

# snmpusm -v 3 -u user2 -n "" -l authPriv -a MD5 -A pass2 -x DES -X pass2 
localhost passwd pass1 pass1_n user1

Error in packet.

Reason: inconsistentName (That object can not currently be created)

Failed object: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserAuthKeyChange.".....zzzzz"."pass1"

 

How can I change the passwords in real time for these users with the 
configuration mentioned above.

 

Can you provide me some help about these issues? Tnx in advance.
