That is correct - an SNMPv3 request will fail if the boot time/count
values in the
request don't match the agent's idea of the current values. I
believe this is to
avoid replay attacks.

The manager will need to resend the request, with updated boot
count/time values.These can be taken from the "not in timewindow" Report
message that was sent by the agent.
If the manager is written using the Net-SNMP libraries, then I'd expect this
to happen automatically. If it's using a different toolkit, then you'd need
to talk to the appropriate vendor to find out how to handle this with their
code.

I try to use set_enginetime() by set the engineboots to a value stored in out
side of agent.
set_enginetime(c_engineID, engineIDLen,
get_snmpEngineBoots(),
snmpv3_local_snmpEngineTime(), TRUE);
Then when Manager side send request, agent will return with new engineboot,
then manager side will send request again with new engineboot and time. I
thought this time, agent will think its in sync with manager side.
But unfortunately, seems usm_check_and_update_timeliness() will still return
error, it will compare the the static engineBoots stored in agent with the new
engineboots value. boots_uint != myBoots
if (boots_uint == ENGINEBOOT_MAX
|| boots_uint != myBoots
|| time_difference > USM_TIME_WINDOW) {
.....
*error = SNMPERR_USM_NOTINTIMEWINDOW;
return -1;
}
myBoots is get from snmpv3_local_snmpEngineBoots:
snmpv3_local_snmpEngineBoots(void)
{
return engineBoots;
}
Seems I can not set this static engineBoots?
