Re: Synchronize access to agent from multiple management consoles

Hi Boris!

You could use a random number as part of your OID, and all requests with 
this (same) random number belong together. The manager could even 
request a valid number before doing the set commands, so you can 
validate it. I think I've already seen this technique somewhere, but 
can't find it now.

best regards,
Markus
