Initial Account Creation Through the PSA's Web Interface
Using the PSA's web interface, users can create an SNMPv3 account by supplying a user name, an authentication
key, and a privacy key. The PSA will except either a localized or non-localized key, but not a password. This was
done by design to maintain backward compatibility with other JetDirect products. How a user determines whether to
use a localized or non-localized key largely depends upon the SNMP application that will be used to communicate
with the PSA. If an SNMP application that is highly configurable such as "Mg-Soft Mib Browser" is being used, then a
user can use a non-localized key. However, if the user is using a less configurable tool, such as the net-SNMP tools,
the user may have to type a localized key that was generated from a password.
Note: A valid key is 32-characters long and only contains the characters 0-9, a-f, and/or A-F.
Initial Account Creation Using Passwords
Since the PSA only accepts authentication keys, users must first convert their password to a key. Follow these steps
to convert a password to a key:
