  encrypted traps the receiver needs the userid and engineID to
  identify the private key for decryption.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Communications Server   *
  *                 for z/OS Version 1 Releases 9, 10, & 11 IP:  *
  *                 SNMP Manager API.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SNMP Manager API needs to provide   *
  *                      a way to specify an engine ID when      *
  *                      sending a trap to a remote recipient.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The z/OS Communications Server SNMP manager API does not provide
  a way to specify an engine ID when sending a trap to a remote
  recipient.  Because the same username could be defined on
  different hosts, a remote SNMP agent needs both the username
  and engine ID prior to looking up the user's security
  information.
