Abstract
Data security and maintaining system integrity are the primary concerns pointed out by corporations and individuals when connecting to the Internet. To respond to this demand, the most recent agreed Internet management standard, SNMPv3, introduces new security features to make SNMPbased management ready for enterprise management. This is possible only if the SNMPv3 management framework is introduced properly in the enterprise, i.e., in such a way to respond efficiently to the management and security requirements specific to this enterprise. This paper proposes the use of standard directory service and protocol to configure SNMPv3 entities, to regulate SNMPv3 management exchanges and to customize security features according to the enterprise needs. It addresses in particular the configuration of access control parameters to be implemented by SNMPv3 entities according to enterprise security policies.
