RFC 2264, “User-based Security Model for version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 1998 by U. Blumenthal, B. Wijnen. It has been obsoleted by RFC 2274 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

This document also includes a MIB for remotely monitoring/managing the configuration parameters for this Security Model. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
