Dear Net-SNMP Developers,

Trying to setup SNMPv3 with AES.

I have installed OpenSSL 0.9.7 with AES and Net-SNMP 5.0.6 on Slackware
8.

Can Create DES user with MD5 and do snmpwalk on host fine.

However, when I created AES256 user with SHA and do:
snmpwalk -v3 -u user -a SHA -A AuthPass -x AES256 -X PrivPass hostname

get

snmpwalk: USM encryption error.

Is there something I missed in the install regarding AES library setup?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Brian

My fault. The key generation routines for AES192 and AES256 aren't
complete. AES128 will work, however.
