Check Text ( C-36890r1_chk )
Verify the SNMP daemon uses SHA for SNMPv3 users. Procedure: Examine the default install location /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf or: # find / -name snmpd.conf # grep -v '^#' \| grep -i createuser \| grep -vi SHA If any line is present this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-31971r1_fix)
Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add the SHA keyword for any create user statement without one. Restart the SNMP service. # service snmpd restart
