Dear All,

As part of my Agent Configuration, I'm planning to provide an User
Interface to configure the SNMP Configuration like Read-Only Community,
Read-Write Community and all including SNMPv3.

Now the issue is whether the SNMP Agent and SNMP Utilities will be able to
process all special characters or not. Because when I configure with the
special characters `~!@#$%^&*()_+-=:;"[]{}|,.<>/? it works like a charm.

But when I configure with '(single quote) or \(back slash) then the issue
arises like no response with an Authentication Failure Trap.

So based on this observation, can I block only these *two characters* only
in the validation along with following validation?

- No space allowed
- No special characters in the beginning and end
- Min Length should be 6 and max length should be 32

Please correct me if I'm doing wrong!

*Note: *This validation is applicable for Read-Only Community, Read-Write
Community, SNMPv3 User Name, Privacy Key and Authentication Password.
