Hi,
See appendix A of RFC 3414. The "initial" user is not required and not
part of the protocol.
Trying to connect with the "initial" user before using the configured
user, does not make
any sense and is IMHO waste of bandwitch and CPU cycles.
Using an empty security name is also not part of the USM.
Best regards,
Frank

I have set up SNMP4j, and it is working well. I have added functionality
to log when users connect for the first time, both successful and
unsuccessful.
What I am seeing is with some MIB browsers (iReasoning and ManageEngine)
using SNMPv3 there is a connection with a securityName 'initial'
happening, before connecting with my configured user.
Is this part of the protocol? Is there a requirement that I have a user
named 'initial' configured? If so what should that user be?
I have also seen connections with a blank security name "".
