Either you do an authentication from your script using the nvauth command,
or you use the unsecured version of the snmp commands. They are somewhere
under /usr/OV/security. They have 'unsecure' in their names and the names
cannot be changed, giving you some sort of auditability.

Cordially,

Hi,

I implemented security into my Netview via nvsec_admin.  However, I've
problems running my scripts that do snmpwalks to obtain MIB
information.  It complains about the security.

How do I maintain the security & at the same time solve those snmpwalk
errors?  Please help advise...

Thanks!

cheers,
Jeanie
