First, before trying to do it in code you should try it on the command
line first...

use snmpget --defAuthLocalizedKey or --defAuthMasterKey for example.

Part of the problem you're likely having is that the session structure
you're filling in either needs to be given a master key or a localized
key.  I'm betting the device is asking for a localized key, but your
documentation should know that.  The session field is for a master
key, not a localized key.
