You must enable security for the IBM® WebSphere® Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Capability (also referred to as the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent) to connect to a security-enabled WebSphere Application Server environment.
Before you enable security for the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability, you must first have installed and configured it. Read the "Installing and configuring the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability" topic for more information.
You should enable security on the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent without enabling administrative security. Verify that the connection is established successfully and you are able to obtain the metrics and traps. The following attributes should be configured to enable security on the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent: connectorType, Security, UserName, Password, connectorSOAPcon-fig/connectorRMIconfig, sslRMIConfig, trustStore, tsPassword, keyStore and ksPassword. For more information about these attributes, read the "Installing and configuring the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability" topic.
To enable security for the SOAP Connector Type, perform the following steps:
If the connector type is RMI, there is no need to extract any certificates. You must ensure that the values for all attributes under RMImbeanServer are correct
However, if your IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent is running on a machine different from the dmgr you want to connect to, you are prompted to accept a certificate from the WebSphere Application Server dmgr machine when you connect to it for the first time. Click yes and accept that certificate. In some instances, when you start the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent, a window is displayed that prompts you for a username and password. Enter the username and password for the WebSphere Application Server dmgr in this window.
