Default Problem with starting the agent in AES

Hi All,

I have downloaded the latest version net-snmp-5.3.1. And the openssl
version is 0.9.6b. It is also support the aes-cbc-128 Algorithm.The
steps which I have followed for installing the net-snmp agent is as
follows.
1. run the configure file
2. run the make
3. run make test
4. run the make install.

While running the make test file I found that AES test are passed i.e
ok.

After successfully installed the agent. I write the user entries in the
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf file is as follows

createUser authUser MD5 authUser
createUser privUser MD5 privUser DES
privUser
createUser privUserAES MD5 privUserAES AES privUserAES

And also configure the VACM table for all the user. And then I start
the agent then only the authuser & privUser entries are converted into
the hex format and the privUserAES is discarded. I cross check the same
by quering with this username. While I am querying any oid, the
unKnownUser error is returned. The DES id working fine for me.

Is anything I would like to configure or missing it. Please help me how
to start the agent with privprotocol as AES.

Also the configure summary is ,

I am expecting your thougths at the earliest.
