Hi,

Wireshark takes the password for SNMP V3 USM users using the snmp_users file. Internally it uses the key localisation algorithm in function - snmp_usm_password_to_key_sha1. But when we use Diffie-Hellman algo as specified in RFC 2786, keys are already localised and hence wireshark should not localise again.

I am able to use the keys that I generated using the DH algorithm externally, by not using this function (I just returned the password itself as key in this function) and it works fine. I would like to know if you can make this as a feature of wireshark. May be there shall be a flag to bypass key localisation.

Thanks.
-- Raja.
