HP Secure Key Manager - Manual (Page 217)

Description Component
Name that is used to send SNMP data to SNMPv3 management stations. The username
is used to create a key that is shared by the agent and the NMS.
Username (v3 only)
You have three choices for the security level
• auth, priv – authorization and privacy. This option takes full advantage of the en-
hanced security features in SNMPv3. This option means that the SKM is authenticated
by the NMS when the SKM sends a trap; in addition, all data exchanged between
the agent and the NMS is encrypted using the DES algorithm and a secret key.
• auth, no priv – authorization, no privacy. This option allows you to specify that the
SKM is authenticated by the NMS, but data that is exchanged between the agent
and NMS is unencrypted.
• no auth, no priv – no authorization, no privacy. This option is similar to the security
offered in SNMPv1/v2. No encryption is performed, and the authenticity of the
sender of the SNMP message is not be guaranteed.
Security Level (v3
only)
You can choose from MD5 and SHA.
Auth Protocol (v3
only)
This password is used to create the secret key that is used to authenticate the sender
of SNMP messages. The auth password must be between 8 and 64 characters. Auth Password (v3
only)
This password is used to create the secret key that is used to encrypt data that is shared
between the HP agent and the NMS. The auth password must be between 8 and 64
characters. If you select the auth, priv security option and you enter a valid value in
the Auth Password field, and leave the Priv Password field blank, the value you entered
in the Auth Password field is used to create the Priv Password.
Priv Password (v3
only)
The Manager Engine ID is a unique identifier for the manager entity that is used for
authentication. The Manager Engine ID is not used when sending inform messages.
The Manager Engine ID cannot exceed 128 characters.
