NAME

 nma.security - Node Management Agent (NMA) configuration file for SNMP security.

SYNOPSIS

 nma.security

DESCRIPTION

Configure the installDir/etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.security file to define user entries which are used to identify authorised users of the NMA SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs). By default this file is located at /etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nma.security. Replace installDir with the root installation directory if the root installation directory is not /.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

Modify variables in the nma.security file as follows:

localEngineID

The engine ID used to configure the SNMP engine. This property is optional. If you do not provide an engine ID, the engine ID will be generated by the system on the basis of the CGTP address of the node.

userEntry

A comma-seperated list of the format:

userEntry=engine-ID,user-name,security-name,authentication-algorithm,authentication-key

engine-ID and the user-name are mandatory parameters. All the other parameters are optional.

engine-ID

The SNMP engine ID.

user-name

The unique ID of this user.

security-name

The principal on whose behalf SNMP messages will be generated.

authentication-algorithm

The type of authentication algorithm to be used for this user. The following algorithms are permitted:

  • usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol

  • usmHMACSHAAuthProtocol

  • usmNoAuthProtocol

authentication-key

The user password

EXAMPLES

The following example is the default nma.security file:

Example 1. Example nma.security file
# Each SNMP V3 engine has its own security file.
# You have one file on the Node management side 
# and one on the manager side.
# Both files will have a very similar configuration.
# If you don't provide an engine id and or an engine boots, 
# they are computed by the NMA engine based on the
# CGTP address of the node and the SNMP port configured
# in the nma.properties.

# localEngineID=<your engine id>

userEntry=localEngineID,defaultUser,null,usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol,mypasswd
