That's for community-based SNMP, and is completely irrelevant to SNMPv3.

"public" is a slightly confusing username to use, but never mind.
Where have you set up the user "public" ?
You should have an entry
"createUser public ....."
or "usmUser public ....."
somewhere. What does it look like?

Yes - that looks fine.
All you seem to be missing is the 'createUser' line.

That fits.
You're trying to use a user "public", but the agent doesn't know about
this particular user. So it's (correctly) reporting the fact.
See the file README.snmpv3
That tells you how to set up SNMPv3 users.
