2.10. SNMPv2 Authenticated Management Communication
A SNMPv2 authenticated management communication is a SNMPv2
management communication (see Section 2.9) for which the
originating SNMPv2 party is (possibly) reliably identified and
for which the integrity of the transmission of the
communication is (possibly) protected. An authenticated
management communication is represented by an ASN.1 value with
the following syntax:
SnmpAuthMsg ::= [1] IMPLICIT SEQUENCE {
authInfo
ANY, -- defined by authentication protocol
authData
SnmpMgmtCom
}
For each SnmpAuthMsg value that represents a SNMPv2
authenticated management communication, the following
statements are true:
- Its authInfo component is called the authentication
information and represents information required in
support of the authentication protocol used by the SNMPv2
party originating the message. The detailed significance
of the authentication information is specific to the
authentication protocol in use; it has no effect on the
application semantics of the communication other than its
use by the authentication protocol in determining whether
the communication is authentic or not.
- Its authData component is called the authentication data
and represents a SNMPv2 management communication.
