Working with SNMP v3 (deprecated)

Note: Audit Manager is deprecated and provided for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use syslog events instead. See Enterprise Server Auditing for more information.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

SNMP v3 adds two optional levels of security to SNMP v2c Traps: Authentication and Privacy (Content Encryption).

To enable generated Audit events be sent using SNMP v3 flows, we rely upon software produced by the OpenSource Net-SNMP project. The main project along with binary distributions can be found at www.net-snmp.org. (Binaries are at www.net-snmp.org/download.html). This release of Micro Focus SNMP Audit Emitter was created to use Net-SNMP v5.4. It does not require a 3rd party OpenSSL installation, nor does it require an OpenSSL compliant Net-SNMP installation.

Note:
  • Microsoft Windows SNMP services do not include native SNMP v3 support, so the WinSNMP option will not provide SNMP v3.
