Assessment Procedure

Check Text

Verify the SNMP daemon uses SHA for SNMPv3 users.

Procedure:
Examine the default install location /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
or:
# find / -name snmpd.conf 

# grep -v '^#' <snmpd.conf file> | grep -i createuser | grep -vi SHA
If any line is present this is a finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add the SHA keyword for any create user statement without one.
Restart the SNMP service.
# service snmpd restart
