partyAuthPublic

Module: RFC1353-MIB

OID (symbolic): RFC1353-MIB::partyAuthPublic

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.20.2.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-write

Description: A publically-readable value for the party.

Depending on the party's authentication protocol, this value may be needed to support the party's authentication protocol. Alternatively, it may be used by a manager during the procedure for altering secret information about a party. (For example, by altering the value of an instance of this object in the same SNMP Set-Request used to update an instance of partyAuthPrivate, a subsequent Get-Request can determine if the Set- Request was successful in the event that no response to the Set-Request is received, see RFC 1352.)

The length of the value is dependent on the party's authentication protocol. If not used by the authentication protocol, it is recommended that agents support values of any length up to and including the length of the corresponding partyAuthPrivate object.

What is partyAuthPublic?

A publicly-readable value supporting this party's authentication protocol (up to 16 bytes for md5AuthProtocol); it can also be used by a manager during a key-change procedure -- by altering this object in the same Set-Request that updates the secret key, a later Get-Request can confirm whether the key change actually succeeded even if the original Set-Request's response was lost. Defaults to an empty string.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.20.2.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RFC1353-MIB::partyAuthPublic

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.20.2.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RFC1353-MIB::partyAuthPublic.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.20.2.1.1.7.1 s <value>
