Thanks Mike. Makes sense that username and password must match. I also have a
requirement to change passwords periodically. Can I change the agent password
remotely via the management engine? If that is possible i assume there is an
ordering dependency where the agent(s) is changed first, and then the
management end is changed as the last step?
Thanks again, Joe

Subject: Re: noob v3 authentication question
The authentication credentials on the managers have to match whatever the agent
has configured. For example:
For agent using SHA auth with v3 username "v3user" and auth password
"v3password".
Manager:
snmpget -v 3 -l authNoPriv -u v3user -a SHA -A v3password <agent's address>

I am planning a system with a manager and several agents machines. I want to
use snmpv3 authentication. If I change the authkey on management machine, do I
lose ability to communicate with agents? IOW, do authkeys have to match on all
engines? If so, can I change the authkey of agents remotely? Obviously I'm a
bit fuzzy on some of the details of authentication. I am not planning on using
encryption.

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
