SendSecureResponse Method
Sends an authenticated and/or encrypted SNMPv3 response.
Syntax
int SendSecureResponse(const QString& qsRemoteHost, int iRemotePort, int iRequestId, int iMessageId, int iErrorStatus, int iErrorIndex, const QString& qsUser, int iAuthenticationProtocol, const QString& qsAuthenticationPassword, int iEncryptionAlgorithm, const QString& qsEncryptionPassword);
Remarks
Similar to the SendResponse method except that User, Authentication Protocol, and AuthenticationPassword are used to authenticate the response. EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword (if not empty) are used to encrypt the response.
The MessageId argument must match the MessageId parameter obtained from the GetRequest, GetNextRequest, SetRequest, or GetBulkRequest event.
The user and password arguments used to send the response will be added to the internal user cache. If the user is already in the cache, its passwords will be updated with those supplied.
Valid Authentication Protocols are:
| HMAC-MD5-96 (1) | Message-Digest algorithm 5. |
| HMAC-SHA-96 (2) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-192-SHA-256 (3) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-384-SHA-512 (4) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
Valid Encryption Algorithms are:
| DES (1) | Data Encryption Standard. |
| AES (2) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 128. |
| 3DES (3) | Triple Data Encryption Standard. |
| AES192 (4) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 192. |
| AES256 (5) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 256. |
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
