snmpdv3.conf File

Purpose

Defines a sample configuration file for the snmpdv3 agent.

Description

An entry must be contained on one line (i.e., the newline character will be treated as the end of an entry) All of the entry definitions require that all fields on the entry are specified, either with a specific value or a dash (-) to denote the default value. If an error is detected processing an entry and no appropriate default value can be assumed, the entry will be discarded. Statements in the file are not order-dependent. However, if more than one DEFAULT_SECURITY statement is found, the last one in the file is the one that is used. For more information on sample configuration, refer to the /usr/samples/snmpdv3/snmpdv3.conf file.

General Usage Rules

  • All values for an entry must be on the same line.
  • All keys need to be regenerated using the pwtokey command in order for these sample entries to actually be used.
  • In this sample, keys are generated for use with engine ID 00000002000000000943714F.
  • Authentication keys were generated with password of username + password, such as u1password.
  • Privacy keys were generated with password of username + privpass, such as u1privpass.
  • Entries defined to use encryption support, which is available only as a separately orderable feature on the base AIX® product, are included below but commented out.
Comments may be entered in the snmpdv3.conf file, with the following restrictions:
  • Comments must begin with the pound sign (#) or asterisk (*).
  • Comments must begin in column 1. This allows the pound sign and asterisk to be used in names of users, views, etc.
USM_USER entries
Defines a user for the User-based Security Model (USM). Format is:
userName engineID authProto authKey privProto privKey keyType storageType
where
userName
Indicates the name of the user for the User-based Security Model (USM) and must be unique to the SNMP agent. The userName is used as the security name for the User-based Security Model. The contents of this field will be used as the securityName value for other entries (such as the VACM_GROUP entry) when the securityModel is USM. Valid value is:
  • An octet string of 1 to 32 octets (characters).
There is no default value.
engineID
Indicates the engineID of the authoritative side of the message. The engineID for the AIX SNMP agent is determined at agent initialization. It is either read in from the SNMPD.BOOTS file or it is generated automatically and stored in the SNMPD.BOOTS file. It can be retrieved dynamically by issuing a get request for object snmpEngineID. For get, getbulk, set, response, and trap messages, the authoritative side is the SNMP agent. For inform messages, the authoritative side is the notification receiver.
Note: The engineID is defined in RFC 2271.
Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 1 to 32 octets (2 to 64 hex digits).
  • A '-' (dash) indicates the default value.
The default value is the local SNMP agent's engineID.
authProto
Indicates the authentication protocol to be used on authenticated messages on behalf of this user. Valid values are:
  • HMAC-MD5 - indicates HMAC-MD5.
  • HMAC-SHA - indicates HMAC-SHA.
  • none - indicates no authentication is to be done.
  • '-' (dash) - indicates the default value.
A The default value is HMAC-MD5 (if an authentication key is specified; if no authentication key is specified, no authentication can be done for messages to/from this user).
authKey
Indicates the authentication key to be used in authenticating messages on behalf of this user. This field will be ignored when authProto is specified as none. The keyType field will indicate whether the key is localized or non-localized. Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 16 bytes (32 hex digits) when authProto is HMAC-MD5.
  • An octet string of 20 bytes (40 hex digits) when authProto is HMAC-SHA.
  • A '-' (dash) indicates the default.
The default value is no key, indicating no authentication.
privProto
Indicates the privacy protocol to be used on encrypted messages on behalf of this user. Privacy can be requested only if authentication is also requested. If authentication is not requested, this field is ignored. Valid values are:
  • DES - indicates CBC-DES (only with the additional encryption product).
  • none - indicates no privacy.
  • A '-' (dash) indicates default.
The default value is no privacy. No encryption will be done on messages to/from this user.
privKey
The privacy key to be used in authenticating messages to and from this user. This field will be ignored when privProto is specified or defaulted as none. The keyType field will indicate whether the key is localized or non-localized. Privacy can be requested only if authentication is also requested. If authentication is not requested, this field is ignored. The privacy key and the authentication key are assumed to have been generated using the same authentication protocol (HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA). Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 16 bytes (32 hex digits) if the key is localized or if the key is non-localized and the authProto is HMAC-MD5.
  • An octet string of 20 bytes (40 hex digits) if the key is non-localized and the authProto is HMAC-SHA.
  • The '-' (dash) indicates default.
Default value is no key, indicating no encryption.
keyType
Indicates whether the keys defined by authKey and privKey are localized or non-localized. Localized indicates that they have been generated with the appropriate engineID making the key usable only at one snmpEngine. Non-localized indicates the key may be used at different snmpEngines. The authKey and privKey, if both are specified, must both be localized or both be non-localized. This field is ignored if no authentication or privacy is requested. Valid values are:
  • L - indicates keys are localized.
  • N - indicates keys are non-localized.
  • '-' (dash) indicates default Default value is localized.
storageType
Indicates the type of storage in which this definition is to be maintained. StorageTypes are defined in RFC1903. Valid values are:
  • nonVolatile - indicates the entry definition will persist across reboots of the SNMP agent, but it can, however, be changed or even deleted by dynamic configuration requests.
  • permanent - indicates the entry definition will persist across reboots of the SNMP agent; it can be changed but not deleted by dynamic configuration requests
  • readonly - indicates the entry definition will persist across reboots of the SNMP agent; it cannot be changed or deleted by dynamic configuration requests. readOnly is not permitted if the authentication protocol is not 'none' (because keys must be changeable per RFC 2274 definition of usmUserStorageType) .

COMMUNITY
Defines a community for community-based security.

By default, the AIX snmpdv3 agent does not configure any default community name, including the public community name. The snmpdv3 agent neither work with the IPv4 address nor with the IPv6 address unless any COMMUNITY entry is configured for the IPv4 and/or IPv6 address.

The format is:
communityName securityName securityLevel netAddr netMask storageType
where:
communityName
Indicates a community name for community-based security (SNMPv1 or # SNMPv2c). Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 1 to 32 octets (characters).
There is no default value.
securityName
Indicates a securityName defined for this communityName. The securityName is the more generic term for the principal (user or community) for which other entries, such as VACM_GROUP and TARGET_PARAMETERS, are defined. Typically, the securityName would match communityName or, at least, there would be a one-to-one correspondence between securityName and communityName. (Until the community MIB support is implemented, the community name must match the securityName exactly.) Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 1 to 32 octets (characters).
  • '-' (dash) - indicates default.
The default value is securityName equal to the specified communityName.
securityLevel
Indicates the security level to be applied when processing incoming or outgoing messages with this community name.
Note: When the communityMIB is implemented, authNoPriv will also be a valid level of security, but at the moment, it will be rejected because there is no way to store a securityLevel to be associated with a communityName. When that happens, the following will be added to the list of valid values below:
  • authNoPriv or auth - indicates authentication protocols applied.
Note that no additional authentication checking is done by specifying auth. Authentication still involves verifying that the community name is being used by an IP address for which it has been defined and using the views defined for that entry. However, allowing the specification of auth here does allow the system administrator to define a different set of views to be used if the same community name is defined with two different securityNames (each with a different securityLevel)
Valid values are:
  • noAuthNoPriv or none - indicates no authentication or privacy protocols applied.
  • '-' (dash) - indicates default.
Default value is noAuthNoPriv. Encryption is not supported on SNMPv1/SNMPv2c messages.
netAddr
A network address indicating the range of addresses for which this community name might be used. The following values are valid:
  • An IPv4 network address in the form of a.b.c.d, where a, b, c, and d are in the range of 0 through 255. However, not all of the four octets are required. Also, 255.255.255.255 is not a valid network address.
  • An IPv6 network address.
netMask
An IP address mask to be logically ANDed with the origin address of the incoming SNMP message. If the resulting value equals the value specified for netAddr, the incoming message is accepted. The following values are valid:
  • A network address in the form of a.b.c.d, where a, b, c, and d are in the range of 0 through 255. However, not all of the four octets are required.
  • A prefix length in the range of 0 through 128 for IPv6 address.
There is no default value.
storageType
As defined above on the USM_USER definition (Note, until the community MIB is implemented, storage type values other than readOnly will be treated as readOnly; i.e., they cannot be changed dynamically.)
DEFAULT_SECURITY
Identifies the default security posture to be configured for the SNMP agent; additional security definitions defined by the use of the preceding eight entry definition types augment any default security configurations defined as a result of the DEFAULT_SECURITY statement. Format is:
securityPosture password privacy
where:
securityPosture
Indicates the default security posture to be configured for the SNMP agent, as defined by Appendix A of RFC 2275 (and outlined below). Valid values are:
  • minimum-secure - indicates the SNMP agent will be configured with the least secure default configurations
  • semi-secure- indicates the SNMP agent will be configured with moderately secure default configurations.
  • no-access - indicates the SNMP agent will be configured with no default configurations.
The default value is no-access.
password
Indicates the password to be used to generate authentication and privacy keys for user 'initial' In the case that no-access is specified as the securityPosture, this keyword is ignored. Valid values are:
  • An octet string of 8 to 255 octets (characters).
  • '-' (dash) - indicating the default.
Default value is no password. Default only accepted if securityPosture is no-access.
privacy
Indicates whether or not encryption is to be supported for messages on behalf of user 'initial'. Valid values are:
  • Yes - indicates privacy is supported for user 'initial' (only with the additional encryption product).
  • No - indicates privacy is not supported for user initial.

Default value is no. If no-access is selected as the security posture, this value will be ignored.
Default security definitions based on the selected security posture:
no-access
No initial configurations are done.
semi-secure
The default (null) context is configured. If privacy is not requested, a default user is configured as if the following USM_USER entry had been specified.
