Correct.
An SNMPv3 user will always have a authentication and encryption type
associated with them.

That doesn't mean you have to *use* those settings.  You can set up a
user with MD5/DES, and then configure access for that user with
"noAuth" (or "auth").   This then ignores the
encryption/authentication settings.   But you need to specify what
algorithms that user would use if that user did use either of these
facilities.  You can't leave this totally blank.
