snmpd.conf privProtocol does not work

[Simon Chamlian]

Hi,

With snmpd.conf creating a userusing *authProtocol* works fine.
For example:
createUser User1 MD5 "HelloWorld"
rwuser User1 auth

But creating a user with encryption does not work.

I tried:

=========================================================
createUser User2 MD5 "HelloWorld" DES "default-00"
rwuser User2

it gives me error: *Error: Unknown privacy protoco*l

=========================================================

createUser User3 MD5 "admin-00" AES "default-00"
rwuser User3

No error but cannot access agent with MIB browser


=========================================================
createUser User4 MD5 "admin-00" AES "default-00"
rwuser User4 priv

No error but cannot access agent with MIB browser
=========================================================

What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
S

Thanks Ajit.

After re-compiling
createUser User2 MD5 "HelloWorld" DES "default-00"
rwuser User2

works fine.

==========================================================

Even though the agent starts without any error, I cannot access agent with
MIB browser when using


createUser User3 MD5 "admin-00" AES "default-00"
rwuser User3

OR

createUser User4 MD5 "admin-00" AES "default-00"
rwuser User4 priv


=========================================================



Should I presume I cannot use AES with NET-SNMP version 5.7.1 or it is
another compilation flag I need?



Thanks,
S.

While compiling use should enable des encryption.
