Hi

In my snmp manager application I work with snmp profiles that contains
security settings for snmp v3. Currently its possible to create snmp
profiles that uses identical security names but have different
passwords. This usage scenario doesnt seem to be supported by snmp4j as
the "UsmUserTable" uses the securityname+engineid as key for storing
user entries. Could someone (looks to Frank :-) confirm that this is
true ?

I have been thinking of ways to make modification to enable my scenario,
so far i have 
1. extending UsmUserEntries with a snmp profile name.
2. modify the UsmUserTable to use ip address as part of the lookup /
storage 

none of these appears as easy solutions, maybe someone have other ideas
?

kind regards
