Java Dynamic Management Kit 4.0 Tutorial

SNMP Manager Security

These example applications do not cover the security features in the SNMP manager. However, security can be implemented at the message level with a custom PDU factory, in the same way that it is for SNMP agents (see "Message-Level Security"). The hook for using your own implementation of the PDU factory is the setPduFactory method of an SnmpPeer instance.

Message-level security can be implemented in this manner in both synchronous and asynchronous managers. See the Java Management Extensions SNMP Manager API document and its Javadoc API for more details.
