Hi everyone, According to the RFC 3414, in the snmp v3 communication, the non-authoritative engine must know the authoritative engine ID. In the snmp class, there is a method
public byte[] *discoverAuthoritativeEngineID*(Address <http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/smi/Address.html> address, long timeout) and they say that " *This method does not need to be called for normal operation, because SNMP4J automatically discovers authoritative engine IDs and also automatically synchronize engine time values*.". But i couldn't find how snmp4j do that. I have tried discovering how snmp4j obtain the authoritative engine ID by check over all the class : MPv3, MessageDispatcherImpl, SNMP, USM and everything related to every line of code of the example in the snmp class. Unfortunately, i couldn't find any sign. Does anyone figure it out?
