Hello,
Context:
1. A device has local Username / password database
2. On Device init, SNMPv3 USM module is initialized with - 'createUser'
token with the corresponding authentication and encryption passwords
3. It should work fine, no doubts here.
4. Net-SNMP base - 5.7.3
Use cases:
1. If the user wishes to change a ONLY PASSWORD in local database for
various reasons, once the device is up and running,
is there a possibility to re-initialize only that particular user details in
'userList'
2. If the device admin creates a new SNMP Get user, , once the device is
up and running,
is there a possibility to add a new user at the end of the user details in
'userList'
Userlist mentioned above is in snmpusm.c
/*
* Local storage (LCD) of the default user list.
*/
static struct usmUser *userList = NULL;
Solution considered:
Use case1 : Call usm_set_password - for use case 1, as a trigger when the user
changes password in the local database
Use case2 : Call usm_parse_config_usmUser / usm_add_user - for use case 2, as
a trigger when the admin creates a new user in the local database
Query/Request:
1. Will the solutions work or is there any better way to handle the use
cases ?
2. Kindly suggest a way forward for further study, if the solutions does
not solve the use cases ?
Thanks,
Pavan
