I wonder how to make a notification recipient receive an
authenticationFailure notification when an agent received an query with
bad user name or bad password.
When agent receives a v2 query with bad community string, the api
SNMPv2Mib:: incrementCounter() calls notify api and send out
notifications. But when the agent receives a v3 query with bad
username, no notification is send out.
I am using : SNMP4J is version 1.9.3c, and SNMP4JAgent is version 1.2.1d.
This is second question. According to CHANGES.txt on snmp4j site:
[2009-07-30] v1.3.1 (Requires SNMP4J v1.10.1)
....
* Improved: Authentication failure traps are no longer
sent on usmNotInTimeWindow and usmUnknownEngineID
reports.
I am wondering why? If a user has a bad username, would that cause
usmNotInTimeWindow error since the second part of discovery requires
user credential?
Thanks.
Vivi
