Hello,

Do we need to configure "context Name" and "context Engine" somewhere in snmpd.conf or it is automatically done for snmpv3
by Net-SNMP

I have added following lines in snmpd.conf for authentication :
defSecurityName     abc
defAuthType            MD5
defSecurityLevel       authPriv
defAuthPassphrase  mysecretpass
defPrivType              DES
defPrivPassphrase    mypassphrase
defVersion                3


and it works fine through command line when i give following :

snmpwalk -v3 -u abc -l authPriv -a MD5 -A mysecretpass -x DES -X  mypassphrase localhost

but through a MIB Browser(GUI) it ask for "context Name" and "Context Engine" ; 
-- if i keep it empty i get a response : User Authentication Failed
-- If i enter something i get a response : Timeout

I had searched a lot on this .. but was unable to find it
Could u please help in this
