You will need to use createUser in your snmpd.conf file with passwords and hash 
settings.  On Debian 10, put then in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.  The createUser 
statements will be removed and encoded passwords will be added to 
/var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf in usmUser statements.

NOTE: since you want to use V3 INFORMs, you’ll need to use the 
authoritativeEngineID of the inform recipient, not the agent issuing the 
INFORM, in the createUser statement.   See more detail on authoritativeEngineID 
 (one reference is

I have an embedded system running Debian 10 with snmpd v5.7.3.

I'd like to configure SNMPv3 trapsess to send auth,priv informs.  How is this 
done without putting clear-text passwords into the snmpd.conf file?

Thanks.
