Abstract

The work presented in this paper falls in the perspective to use management policies to configure the new SNMPv3 entities, to regulate SNMPv3 management exchanges and to customize security features according to the enterprise needs. It particularly addresses the configuration of access control parameters to be implemented by SNMPv3 entities according to enterprise security policies. The overall process is supported by means of a directory service used as a repository for both SNMPv3 configuration parameters and security policies. The implemented directory information model complies with the DEN (directory enabled networking) specification, which is gaining great acceptance into enterprises
