  <p>Configuration data may be included in configuration files
    that is located in the configuration directory. The name of this
    directory is given in the <c>config_dir</c> configuration
    parameter. These files are read at start-up.
    </p>
  <p>The directory where the configuration files are found is given as
    a parameter to the manager.
    </p>
  <p>The entry format in all files are Erlang terms, separated by a
    '<em>.</em>' and a <em>newline</em>. In the following sections, the
    formats of these terms are described. Comments may be specified as
    ordinary Erlang comments.
    </p>
  <p>If syntax errors are discovered in these files they are reported with the
    function <c>config_err/2</c> of the 
    <seealso marker="snmpa_error_report">error report module</seealso>  
    at start-up.

    <title>Manager Information</title>
    <p>The manager information should be stored in a file called
      <c>manager.conf</c>.
      </p>
    <p>Each entry is a tuple of size two:
      </p>
    <p><c>{Variable, Value}.</c></p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p><c>Variable</c> is one of the following:</p>
        <list type="bulleted">
	  <item>
	    <p><c>transports</c> - which defines the transport domains
	    and their addresses for the manager. <em>Mandatory</em>
	    </p>
	    <p><c>Value</c> is a list of <c>{Domain, Addr}</c> tuples
	    or <c>Domain</c> atoms.
	    </p>
	    <list type="bulleted">
	      <item>
		<p><c>Domain</c> is one of <c>transportDomainUdpIpv4</c>
		or <c>transportDomainUdpIpv6</c>.</p>
	      </item>
	      <item>
		<p><c>Addr</c> is for the currently supported domains
		either an <c>IpAddr</c> or an <c>{IpAddr, IpPort}</c>
		tuple.<c>IpAddr</c> is either a regular Erlang/OTP
		<seealso marker="kernel:inet#type-ip_address">
		<c>ip_address()</c></seealso> or a traditional SNMP integer list
		and <c>IpPort</c> is an integer.
		</p>
		<p>When <c>Addr</c> does not contain a port number,
		the value of <c>port</c> is used.
		</p>
		<p>When a <c>Addr</c> is not specified i.e by
		using only a <c>Domain</c> atom, the host's name
		is resolved to find the IP address, and the value of
		<c>port</c> is used.
		</p>
	      </item>
	    </list>
	  </item>
          <item>
            <p><c>port</c> - which defines which UDP port the manager uses
              for communicating with agents.
	    <em>Mandatory</em> if <c>transports</c> does not define
	    a port number for every transport.</p>
          </item>
          <item>
            <p><c>engine_id</c> - The <c>SnmpEngineID</c> as defined in 
              SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. <em>Mandatory</em>.</p>
          </item>
          <item>
            <p><c>max_message_size</c> - The <c>snmpEngineMaxMessageSize</c> as
              defined in SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. <em>Mandatory</em>.</p>
          </item>
        </list>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p><c>Value</c> is the value for the variable.
          </p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>The legacy and intermediate variables <c>address</c> and <c>domain</c>
    are still supported so old configurations will work.</p>
    <p>The following example shows a <c>manager.conf</c> file: 
      </p>
    <pre>
{transports,       [{transportDomainUdpIpv4, {{141,213,11,24}, 5000}},
                    {transportDomainUdpIpv6, {{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1}, 5000}}]}.
{engine_id,        "mgrEngine"}.
{max_message_size, 484}.
    </pre>
    <p>The value of <c>engine_id</c> is a string, which should have a 
      very specific structure. See RFC 2271/2571 for details.
      </p>

  <section>
    <marker id="users"></marker>
    <title>Users</title>
    <p>For each <em>manager user</em>, the manager needs some information.
      This information is either added in the <c>users.conf</c> config 
      file or by calling the 
      <seealso marker="snmpm#register_user">register_user</seealso> 
      function in run-time.
      </p>
    <p>Each row defines a <em>manager user</em> of the manager. 
      </p>
    <p>Each entry is a tuple of size four:
      </p>
    <!-- <p><c>{UserId, UserMod, UserData}.</c></p> -->
    <p><c>{UserId, UserMod, UserData, DefaultAgentConfig}.</c></p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>

          </p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p><c>DefaultAgentConfig</c> is a list of default agent config's. 
          These values are used as default values when this user registers 
          agents.

      </item>
    </list>
  </section>

  <section>
    <marker id="agents"></marker>
    <title>Agents</title>
    <p>The information needed to handle agents should be stored in a 
      file called <c>agents.conf</c>. It is also possible to add agents
      in run-time by calling the 
      <seealso marker="snmpm#register_agent">register_agent</seealso>.
      </p>
    <p>Each entry is a tuple:

    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p><c>UserId</c> is the identity of the <em>manager user</em>

      </item>
      <item>
        <p><c>TargetName</c> is a <em>unique</em> <em>non-empty</em> string.</p>

      </item>
      <item>
	<p><c>Addr</c> is the address in the transport domain,
	either an <c>{IpAddr, IpPort}</c> tuple or a traditional SNMP
	integer list containing port number. <c>IpAddr</c> is either
	a regular Erlang/OTP
	<seealso marker="kernel:inet#type-ip_address"><c>ip_address()</c></seealso>

    <p>Legacy configurations using tuples without <c>Domain</c> element,

    <title>Security data for USM</title>
    <p>The information about Security data for USM should be stored in a 
      file called <c>usm.conf</c>, which must be present if the manager
      wishes to use SNMPv3 when communicating with agents. It is also 
      possible to add usm data in run-time by calling the 
      <seealso marker="snmpm#register_usm_user">register_usm_user</seealso>.
      </p>
    <p>The corresponding table is <c>usmUserTable</c> in the
      SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB.
      </p>
    <p>Each entry is a term:
      </p>
    <p><c>{EngineID, UserName, AuthP, AuthKey, PrivP, PrivKey}.</c>      <br></br>
<c>{EngineID, UserName, SecName, AuthP, AuthKey, PrivP, PrivKey}.</c></p>
    <p>The first case is when we have the identity-function 
      (<c>SecName</c> = <c>UserName</c>).

          The length of this key needs to be 16 if 
          <c>usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol</c> is used and 20 if

          localized encryption key.  It is not visible in the MIB. The length
