Module: SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.2.2.1.13

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: RowStatus

Access: read-create

Description: The status of this conceptual row.

Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the usmUserStatus column is 'notReady'.

In particular, a newly created row for a user who employs authentication, cannot be made active until the corresponding usmUserCloneFrom and usmUserAuthKeyChange have been set.

Further, a newly created row for a user who also employs privacy, cannot be made active until the usmUserPrivKeyChange has been set.

The RowStatus TC [RFC2579] requires that this DESCRIPTION clause states under which circumstances other objects in this row can be modified:

The value of this object has no effect on whether other objects in this conceptual row can be modified, except for usmUserOwnAuthKeyChange and usmUserOwnPrivKeyChange. For these 2 objects, the

value of usmUserStatus MUST be active.

What is usmUserStatus?

This RowStatus value tracks the lifecycle of a usmUserTable row, sitting at notReady until every required column for that user has been appropriately configured. A newly created row for a user with authentication enabled cannot become active until usmUserCloneFrom and usmUserAuthKeyChange have both been set, and a row that also uses privacy additionally needs usmUserPrivKeyChange set before it can go active. An admin provisioning a new authPriv user would clone from a template, set the auth and privacy key-change objects, and only then SET usmUserStatus to active to bring the user online.
