Hello,

I apologise for misusing this mailing list, but I noticed that similar 
questions are being asked and there are people that might have the 
necessary answer for my problem. If you think this is OT, you are 
welcome to reply privately.

To make it short, I need to initiate port reauthentication on switches 
(HP Procurve, but I think this may be standardised to some extent) via 
SNMPv3. I assume this is possible, but can't find the proper 
documentation. To explain this in a little more detail, I want to do per 
SNMP what the following does over ssh/telnet (assuming I want to do it 
on port "A1" and I am able to find out that "A1" is port #1):

-----------------------------
config
aaa port-access supplicant A1 initialize
aaa port-access web-based A1 reauthenticate
aaa port-access mac-based A1 reauthenticate
-----------------------------

I already have some perl code to do snmp writes, I just can't find what 
variable and value to use for this purpose.

Sometimes, access policy for a user changes and I want it to be enforced 
immediately, not after (s)he reboots or the auto refresh kick in.

PS. don't tell me to use the the HP program (PCM/IDM/whatever).

Yours sincerely,
Peter
