Hello, In the real world when an SNMP Manager setups the USM users, will they typically define the same user name across multiple systems with the same authorization and privacy values?
For GETs/Traps, the authoritative engine id is that of the Agent. Any Agent created user will have GET and Trap ability. For Informs, the authoritative engine id is that of the Inform receiver. So the Agent needs to create a user based on the receivers engine id. On my Agent side software and setup, is it acceptable to setup a local user and a remote user with the same name (different engine ids) and REQUIRE the same set of authorization/encryption parameters? Thus 1 set of authorization parameters can be used for GETs, Traps and Informs. This would force a User across all engine ids that it exists on to have the same authorization/encryption parameters. Basically I am worried that a User that is an Inform Receiver used with different engine ids will have different authentication/encryption parameters, which would indicate that my setup is wrong. Thanks in advance Larry Hayes
