snmp.conf + defSecurityLevel

Hi,

 

I am trying to set the default security level for all usm users as
"authPriv". Hence I configured snmp.conf with defSecurityLevel authPriv
and set required ENV variables to point for config files.

 

I could verify the following statements while running snmpd with
-Dread_config option

 

read_config: Reading configuration /usr/local/share/snmp/snmp.conf

read_config: /usr/local/share/snmp/snmp.conf:1 examining:
defSecurityLevel authPriv

read_config: Found a parser.  Calling it: defSecurityLevel / authPriv

 

The above details can ensure that snmpd is reading snmp.conf &

 

And the following are statements observed for snmpget with -Dread_config
option..

 

read_config: Reading configuration /var/net-snmp/snmp.conf

read_config: /var/net-snmp/snmp.conf:1 examining: defSecurityLevel
authPriv

 

I am using SHA/AES protocols for authentication and privacy. 

 

But I was getting results with "authNoPriv" level of authentication. I
tested on net-snmp version/linux is 5.2.1/5.2.2 also. 

 

Any idea how to solve this error?

 

Thanks,

Mahesh
