glpi-netinventory gets blank xml-reply from HP MFP when using snmpv3 credentials

bogachevd commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug

Successfully created NetDiscovery and NetInventory tasks on my server, got a pack of unmanaged devices, added one (HP LJ Pro MFP M428fdn) to Printers and Scheduled an SNMP Inventory task. Task finished succesfully, but nothing changed, no information about the printer was added.

So I tried to launch a command directly from my agent. glpi-netinventory.bat --host 192.168.*.* --credentials version:3,username:snmptest,authpassword:"snmp1",authprotocol:sha,privpassword:"snmp2",privprotocol:aes --debug And got an answer from printer:

[debug] Current netinventory run expiration timeout: 1.0 hour

[debug] #1, Netinventory worker terminated

What I tried and what works for me:

using snmpv2c with glpi-netinventory.bat gives expected behavior: correct xml-output with printer info
using snmpwalk from linux machine with snmpv3 credentials gives expected behavior: correct file with OIDs

What I tried and what doesn't work:

changing auth and priv protocols for snmpv3 from sha to md5 and from aes to des in CLI and on device. If I intentionally change protocols to wrong I get <MESSAGE>SNMP communication error: authentication error on host 192.168.*.*</MESSAGE>
downgrading glpi-agent from 1.10 to 1.7.1
adding --type PRINTER to command just adds <TYPE>PRINTER</TYPE>
trying to launch glpi-netinventory from wsl gives the same bahavior: empty xml-reply
removing quotes from authpassword and privpassword and using simple strings gives the same behavior

To reproduce

Set SNMP v3 credentials on printer
Launch glpi-netinventory.bat --host 192.168.*.* --credentials version:3,username:snmptest,authpassword:"snmp1",authprotocol:sha,privpassword:"snmp2",privprotocol:aes --debug from GLPI-Agent install path

Expected behavior

xml I get when using snmp v2c credentials (agent version 1.10):

I think the problem is glpi-netinventory doesn't have "Context Name" parameter. snmpwalk returns error when I remove -n Jetdirect from command. Is there any way to make glpi-netinventory work with snmp v3 and HP printers?

This seems rather an agent issue than a plugin one; please open a discussion on agent repository.

I actually think it's a GLPI-server issue. "Context Name" is a valid snmpv3 parameter. Snmpwalk has it, some HP (and I think not only them) printers have it and require this parameter. Glpi doesn't have this parameter in Administration > Inventory > SNMP credentials at all. Ok, I got it, I'll try to open a discussion in a main repository.
