[fpc-pascal] roadblock with Synapse and SNMPv3 authentication
I posted a similar email to the Synapse mailing list a while ago, but nobody ever replied so I thought I'd broaden my audience. Apologies if you're a member of both lists and have already read this. Also, before I go any further, I just want to make it totally clear that my *entire* understanding of SNMP comes from looking at the Synapse SNMP-related code and reading RFCs, so if I say something stupid, I'm not really stupid... just ignorant. :) I've made some additions to snmpsend.pas to allow implementation of an SNMP agent (server) which can do authentication (AuthNoPriv using MD5 and SHA1) of SNMP packets sent by SNMP clients. This code seems to work when both the server and the client are both written using FreePascal and Synapse. However, when I try to use another third-party SNMP library (particularly Net::SNMP with Perl) the same authentication code which works perfectly for Synapse-sent SNMP messages fails to authenticate the Net::SNMP-sent SNMP messages. I've kind of hit a brick wall with this. Since my authentication code works perfectly authenticating SNMP messages sent with the existing Synapse code, but not with messages from Net::SNMP, does that mean that there's something wrong with the existing Synapse code? Anyway, I was hoping that someone among the Synapse developers, or (now) someone else on the FreePascal mailing list would be willing to lend a second pair of eyes to this and help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's a URL of a tarball containing what you need to duplicate what I'm doing: http://maemobox.org/tlacuache/snmpAuthTest.tar.gz This contains: - snmp-changes.patch = a patch generated against release 38 of the Synapse source code containing my modifications for SNMPv3 authentication - server = contains a small server program which listens for SNMP messages (traps and informrequests), authenticates them if needed and displays the contents - client = contains a test program for sending SNMP messages to the server (works perfectly for me with the server) - clientPerl = contains a perl script to send an SNMP message to the server (my server fails to authenticate it correctly) You should just be able to apply my patch to your synapse code and build the projects as-is (although I suppose you might need to change the unit search paths to point to the location of the synapse source code you patched). I'd certainly appreciate any help anyone could offer. Of course my hope is that all of the code I've written and anything else that comes from this could benefit the Synapse project and FPC community. Thanks, -SG My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Vincent I fished around and found the ipc demo in fpc directory, work great. I'm curious if anyone can tell me in about the SendMessage method: Procedure SendMessage(MsgType : TMessageType; Stream: TStream); The TMessageType is just a longint. I'm assuming that this is just for my reference so I can determine on the server side how to handle a message, correct? This appears to be the case since it works regards of what I set the parameter to.

Contansts for message type are right above the TMessageType declaration.
