SNMPv3 Authentication Error

Hi,

I am trying to configure my Net-SNMP sub-agent to be an SNMPv3 agent with 
SHA Authentication and no privacy. I have been succesfully running it as 
an SNMPv2 agent up until now. My configuration is that I have a Master 
Agent  communicating with a Perl Sub Agent using AgentX and running on 
Windows. I am using version 5.7.1 pre release 2 of Net-SNMP and have built 
it with SSL support.

I tried to set up an SNMPv3 user using the net-snmp-config script which 
gave me the error below - I don't see it installed on my PC.:

'net-snmp-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Instead I tried to modify the snmpd.conf file to create a user as per the 
snmpd.conf documentation as follows:

createUser guest SHA password
rwuser guest


When I try to issue an SNMP get request I get the following authentication 
error:

R:\software>snmpget -v 3 -u guest -a SHA -A password -l authNoPriv 
127.0.0.1:8161 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0
snmpget: USM authentication failure (incorrect password or key)

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ali
