SNMP Coexistence

I am new to SNMP4J and I am attempting to create an agent which uses
SNMP Coexistence. When I attempt to create a new vacmSecurityToGroup
table entry for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c security model, I receive an error due
to an unsupported security model. I do not see an implementation of an
SNMPv1 or v2c SecurityModel class that I can add to the SecurityModels
database, though.

I am using the SNMP Agent example right now, and I do see the two
default entries that are added via the properties file, but I need to
have additional control.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Elliot

The is indeed no security model for "community based authentication".
Communities are not secure at all. Thus the name "Security Model" would
not fit ;-)
For SNMPv1 and v2c, the security model stuff is implemented by the
message processing model.

The error is probably generated because some other misconfiguration?

Control on what?
