Description: HP SNMP MIB for user authentication management on HP networking devices supporting local, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is HP-USER-AUTH?

HP-USER-AUTH is HP's proprietary MIB covering the user-authentication subsystems on its networking devices, explicitly naming three subsystems: WebAuth (web-based login), MacAuth (MAC address-based authentication), and CLI password authentication, each of which can be backed by local, RADIUS, or TACACS+ credential stores. It exposes configuration and status for these authentication mechanisms rather than general device telemetry. Its status-monitoring focus is software/service-oriented: whether each authentication method is enabled and which backend it is using are the primary things an operator would check, functioning as a check on the device's access-control posture rather than its physical health. It relies on the standard RADIUS (RFC 2865) and TACACS+ protocols as the external authentication backends it can be configured against. It is deployed on HP/Aruba networking switches and wireless access points that enforce port- or web-based network access control (NAC-style authentication) for connecting users and devices. Engineers can download the HP-USER-AUTH file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-USER-AUTH. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • HP/Aruba networking switch or wireless access point

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module, so a concrete polling scenario with real object names cannot be constructed; consistent with the module description, monitoring would involve checking the enabled/disabled state and configured backend (local, RADIUS, or TACACS+) for WebAuth, MacAuth, and CLI password authentication to confirm the intended access-control policy is actually in effect.

What Can Be Monitored

  • WebAuth authentication status
  • MAC-based authentication status
  • CLI login authentication status
  • authentication backend configuration (local/RADIUS/TACACS+)

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpicfUsrAuthRedirectServerAuthFailureStats OID:

Select a HP/Aruba networking switch or wireless access point (WebAuth/MacAuth/CLI auth) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type hpicfUsrAuthRedirectServerAuthFailureStats into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of times clients fail authentication and initiate the authentication Redirect Server process since reboot. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
