It is located at $JBOSS_SNMP_ADAPTOR/META-INF/users.xml and is used to configure the SNMP users when using version 3 of the protocol.

Each user entry must specify:

• securityName : the security name of the user (typically the user name).

• authenticationProtocol : the authentication protcol to be associated with this user (MD5 or SHA). If not set, this user only supports unauthenticated messages.

• authenticationPassphrase : If present, the authentication Protocol must also be present. RFC3414 §11.2 requires passphrases to have a minimum length of 8 bytes. If the length is less than 8 bytes an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

• privacyProtocol : the privacy protcol ID to be associated with this user (DES, 3DES, AES128, AES192, AES256). If not set, this user only supports unencrypted messages.

• privacyPassphrase : If present, the privacy Protocol must also be set. RFC3414 §11.2 requires passphrases to have a minimum length of 8 bytes. If the length is less than 8 bytes an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
