        - other three(privileged) account, and one of them is used
  for snmp-cred
  config.
  
  (2) Add the snmp-cred config.
        - Add Auth and Privacy, with "Secret Type = Password",
  apply and save.
          Note that after "apply", "password" is changed to "key".
          Refer to comment #18 - issue -2.
  
  (3) Modify snmp-cred config, from Auth/priv to Auth only.
        - set "Privacy Protocol = None", apply .
          Note the error - "Username snmp-cred change failed" and
  log message.
          and snmp-cred got wiped out.

  (4) Now customer relalizes that he made a mistake and he is
  adding the
  snmp-cred
      again with "auth" only and "Secret Type = Password".
        - fill the "Auth" info, and set "privacy protocol = None".
        - apply and reboot the box.
