Remarks

The on_get_user_security_level event is fired after the first inspection of each SNMPv3 request. The SecurityLevel parameter determines the level of security for the message.

On entry, the SecurityLevel parameter contains the default security level for User if the user is located in the internal cache, or if the User is not found in the cache, the SecurityLevel will be -1.

The value of SecurityLevel upon exiting the event, determines how the message will be processed:

-1The message will be ignored and a on_bad_packet event will be fired.
0No security. The message will be processed without any authentication and/or encryption.
1Authentication only. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the on_get_user_password event will be fired to verify the authentication password.
2Authentication and Privacy. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the on_get_user_password event will be fired twice: first to verify the authentication password, and then to verify the privacy password.
