| 62 | When you run snmpv3 enable you are prompted to create a user. Just take the defaults and hit "n" when you are asked to create a new sha user. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Now, delete the user you just created: |
| 65 | |
| 66 | {{{ |
| 67 | no snmpv3 user initial |
| 68 | }}} |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Create a new user: |
| 71 | |
| 72 | {{{ |
| 73 | snmpv3 user cacti auth sha AUTHPASS priv aes PRIVPASS |
| 74 | }}} |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Replace AUTHPASS and PRIVPASS with random passwords you generate and store in [wiki:keyringer]. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | Lastly, give this user access: |
| 79 | |
| 80 | {{{ |
| 81 | snmpv3 group operatorauth user cacti sec-model ver3 |
| 82 | }}} |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Now, you should be able to configure cacti to user it. When configuring cacti, be sure to leave "context" blank. |
