The request passed from the master agent to the AgentX subagent does not include *any* authentication information (neither the community string, nor any SNMPv3 settings). This is not part of the AgentX protocol. This information is simply not available to the subagent. So it can't be passed to handler functions within the subagent. > I want to use a community string to solve this problem (e.g.): I need a > read-write community which may change value for some MIBs, not for all (for > changing other MIBs, I need a different read-write community) That sort of access control should be configured in the *master* agent, not the subagent. That's the way SNMP access control works.
