[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] snmp authenticate

lfischer@pluto.UUCP (Larry Fischer) (02/07/90)

Can anyone shed some light on the authentication process used in SNMP?
I have some manuals but they arent quite clear... Does it always get done?
need it always get done?  Is there one method or one of many? and if many
how does one decide what is being used...

Thanks in advance
