Hi Smurti,
The MessageDispatcherImpl class has the method
http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/MessageDispatcherImpl.html#addAuthenticationFailureListener(org.snmp4j.event.AuthenticationFailureListener)
to register a listener for authentication failure requests.
Since locking the agent can be used by to run denial of service attacks,
you should be carefully check the source IP and only lock the agent
for that IP.
The locking itself is best implemented as transport listener. Such a
listener
must be added to the TransportMapping before any other listener. It will
then
act as a proxy to the real transport listener (the MessageDispatcherImpl).
Then when the source IP matches the blocked IP, you can simply not forward
the message to the MessageDispatcherImpl and log something to you log
system.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Frank

Hello,
My application is a snmp agent which is using SNMP4J . By default, all
validation of user name/password is done by SNMP4J . So if any server is
trying to connect with wrong credential to my application , it will fail by
SNMP4J .
But I need locking mechanism to support by my application .Means if any
server tried 3 times with wrong credential , then user should lock for 30
min.
As validation is done by SNMP4J itself , My application is not able to find
when some user trying with wrong credential because processpdu(call back
method) never calls if validation is failed by SNMP4J itself.
Is there any api provided by SNMP4J which supports locking mechanism in
case of wrong credentials.
Or is there any other way , My application can know when validation failed
by SNMP4J , so My application can implement locking mechanism.
Regards
Smruti
