Auth Type For SNMPv3, specifies the authentication protocol.
These protocols are used to create unique
fixed-sized message digests of a variable length
message.
The RealPresence Resource Manager system
implements communication with authentication
and privacy (the
authPriv
security level as
defined in the USM MIB).
Possible values for authentication protocol are:
• MD5—Creates a digest of 128 bits (16 bytes).
• SHA—Creates a digest of 160 bits (20 bytes).
Both methods include the authentication key with
the SNMPv3 packet and then generate a digest of
the entire SNMPv3 packet.
Auth Password For SNMPv3, specifies the authentication
password that is appended to the authentication
key before it is computed into the MD5 or SHA
message digest.
Encryption Type For SNMPv3, specifies the privacy protocol for the
connection between the RealPresence Resource
Manager system and the SNMP agent.
