Re: How can I add a v3 user successfully?

The user creation can be done by modifying snmpd.conf or use utilities like snmpusm via snmp path.  What about creating an user from within the system?  i.e. is there a some kind of creatuser API that can be called by other process such as a CLI?  If these user related APIs are not available, how does your system handle the v3 user creation and password changes?
thanks for the help
Steve.

Both lines need to go into your regular snmpd.conf file instead of your shell.

This line needs to go into your persistent snmpd.conf file.

Run "net-snmp-config --snmpconfpath" and "net-snmp-config --persistent-directory" to determine config file path names.
