Configuring Protocols to Send Information to IT Assistant 259
Enabling SNMP Set Operations
SNMP Set operations must be enabled on the system running Server
Administrator in order to change Server Administrator attributes using
IT Assistant. To enable SNMP Set operations on the system running Server
Administrator, edit the SNMP agent configuration file,
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (/etc/snmpd.conf in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server),
and perform the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all none
none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all none
none
2
Edit this line, replacing the first none with all . When edited, the line
should read:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all all
none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all all
none
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 7.3 or later) and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux AS (version 2.1 or later) operating systems, the default SNMP access
for the sysLocation and sysContact variables has been changed to
read-only access. IT Assistant uses the access rights for these variables to
determine whether or not certain actions can be performed through SNMP.
These variables must be configured with read/write access to enable "sets" or
system configuration setting changes in IT Assistant. To configure the
variables, it is recommended that you comment out the sysContact and
sysLocation values in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server SNMP configuration file.
1
Find the line that starts with sysContact .
2 Change the line to # sysContact .
