Defining SNMPv3 users

The install_dir\dtx.uacl file defines the users, contexts, and security information that control access to the SNMP agent. Do not modify the file name. If you do, the SNMP Agent cannot validate the information when receiving SET and GET requests from the SNMP manager.

context-names
The comma-delimited list of context names. The context defines a scope within which an instance of a managed object type can be uniquely identified. For example, a context can be a physical or logical device. An MIB can include multiple contexts.
access
The access-level for retrieving or setting objects in the MIB:
read
The user can retrieve objects by using the SNMP Get operation
read-write
The user can retrieve or set objects by using the SNMP Get and Set operations
security-level
The SNMP security level of requests to the SNMP Agent:
noAuthNoPriv
No authentication and no privacy
authNoPriv
Authentication and no privacy
authPriv
Authentication and privacy
users
The comma-delimited list of SNMPv3 users that are authorized to the SNMP Agent.

  1. In a text editor, open the install_dir\dtx.uacl file.
  2. Add the following within the acl section and replace variables with actual values: 
    {
context-names = context_name,context_name...
access = MIB_variable_permissions
security-level = security_level
users = user_name,user_name...
}
  3. Save the file.
