RE: Configuring a new vacmContextName

 
>>Users don't "have" contexts so much as they "exist in" them.  What are

My two goals are:
1. I would like to be able to configure a CONTEXT in the snmpd.conf file
and have it show up in the vacmContextTable, when I walk this table.
2. I would like to be able to use this CONTEXT in the following:
com2sec  [-Cn CONTEXT] SECNAME SOURCE COMMUNITY
access GROUP CONTEXT {any|v1|v2c|usm} LEVEL PREFX READ WRITE NOTIFY
And have this configuration work so that when I specify the same CONTEXT
on the mibBrowser or when doing a snmpget or snmpset with the same
CONTEXT - it works.
Such as:
snmpget -v 3 -n context1 -l priv -u user3 -a MD5 -A abcdefgh -x DES -X
abcdefgh localhost SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0

Currently the only CONTEXT that I am able to get working is the "" empty
default one.
So the difference is that the following configuration works:
(I can access the mib2 objects):
com2sec userc  default       userc
group   groupc usm           userc
access  groupc ""  usm  authPriv exact  readview writeview none
createUser userc MD5 abcdefgh DES abcdefgh

And this configuration does not work (I can not access the mib2
objects):
com2sec -Cn context1 userc  default    userc
group   groupc usm           userc
access  groupc context1  usm  authPriv exact  readview writeview none
createUser userc MD5 abcdefgh DES abcdefgh

The only difference between the two configuration is that I added a
context name of "context1" to the 2nd configuration. Also, the 2nd
configuration did not result in a new vacmContextName being added to the
vacmContextTable.

Thanks,
Joan

	Users don't "have" contexts so much as they "exist in" them.
What are you trying to accomplish here?


	Thanks,

Mike
