How to Configure SNMP Event Trapping on UNIX Systems

Configuring SNMP event trapping on UNIX systems requires you to:

1. Enable SNMP event trapping.
2. Configure snmptrap.config.

Enable SNMP event trapping

To enable SNMP event trapping, use the XPSConfig utility to set the event handler library (libeventsnmp.so) to the XPSAudit list. The default location of libeventsnmp.so is policy_server_home/lib.

policy_server_home

Specifies the Policy Server installation location.

Note: More information on using the XPSConfig utility to set event handler libraries exists in the Policy Server Administration Guide.

After enabling SNMP event trapping, configure the snmptrap.config file.

Configure snmptrap.config

To configure snmptrap.config

1. Edit snmptrap.config, which is located in /home/smuser/siteminder/config.

3. Specify the IP Address, port number, and community for where you want the trap to be sent.
