SNMPv3 is expected to allow access only to configured users, but the system responds even when an non-configured username is used, indicating a gap in user validation.

Validation logic has been enhanced to ensure that only configured SNMPv3 users are accepted. The system now rejects requests from non-configured users and returns an appropriate authentication failure response.
