as defined in RFC3414 chapter 4 in a manager.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
The process is pretty simple: you send a v3, usm Request message
with security level: noAuthNoPriv, empty user name, endineID and
varbinds. The agent then sends a report containing his engineID.<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
I tried registering agent with empty or no security name defined,
but when I try to send the Request message I get:<br style="" class="">
<tt style="" class="">snmpm:register_agent("u", "a",
[{engine_id,[]},{address,[x,x,x,x]},{version,v3},{sec_model,usm},{sec_name,""},{sec_level,noAuthNoPriv}]).</tt><font style="" class="" face="sans-serif"><tt style="" class=""><br style="" class="">

<br style="" class="">
I also tried registering a usm user with an empty (one space) name:<br style="" class="">
<tt style="" class="">snmpm:register_usm_user(" ", " ", [{sec_name, "initial"}]).</tt><tt style="" class=""><br style="" class="">
</tt><tt style="" class="">snmpm:register_agent("u", "a", [{engine_id, "

<br style="" class="">
This time the message is sent, and the agent does respond with a
message containing his engineID, but this information is not
provided to the snmpm_user module:<br style="" class="">
<br style="" class="">
<tt style="" class="">=INFO REPORT==== 20-May-2014::12:21:45 ===</tt><tt style="" class=""><br style="" class="">

What is the proper way of doing this?<br style="" class="">
