Thanks Mike. Makes sense that username and password must match. I also have a requirement to change passwords periodically. Can I change the agent password remotely via the management engine? If that is possible i assume there is an ordering dependency where the agent(s) is changed first, and then the management end is changed as the last step? Thanks again, Joe ________________________________ From: Mike Gibson <[email protected]> To: Joe Dougherty <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 5:39 PM Subject: Re: noob v3 authentication question The authentication credentials on the managers have to match whatever the agent has configured.

I want to use snmpv3 authentication. If I change the authkey on management machine, do I lose ability to communicate with agents? IOW, do authkeys have to match on all engines? If so, can I change the authkey of agents remotely? Obviously I'm a bit fuzzy on some of the details of authentication. I am not planning on using encryption. >Thanks >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Get your SQL database under version control now! >Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent >caught up.
