Hi Pushpa, No it can't be done and there isn't really a way to properly do it in the first place, as the SNMPv3 protocol specification does not encrypt the username when transmitted over the network. It was never intended to be a secret (unlike the security keys/passphrases which very much are). Your only other option is to use a different security backend transport than USM (TLS, SSH, etc which aren't as widely supported unfortunately). -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
