usmUserSecurityName

Module: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB

OID (symbolic): SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserSecurityName

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.2.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-only

Description: A human readable string representing the user in Security Model independent format.

The default transformation of the User-based Security Model dependent security ID to the securityName and vice versa is the identity function so that the securityName is the same as the userName.

What is usmUserSecurityName?

This object stores a human-readable name that uniquely identifies an SNMPv3 user in a format independent of the underlying security model. It is read-only and set during user account creation. Network administrators use this to manage user identities and permissions for SNMP monitoring access across distributed systems.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.2.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserSecurityName

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.2.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB::usmUserSecurityName.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> usmUserSecurityName.1
