If you are using authkey and privkey, you don¹t need privpassword or
contextengineid, as the privkey is the hash of the privpassword and the
contextengineid


I¹ll also note this from the Net-SNMP 5.2.0 releasenotes:
    The non-core modules Crypt::DES, Digest::MD5, Digest::SHA1, and
    Digest::HMAC are needed to support SNMPv3.

    In order to support the AES Cipher Algorithm as a SNMPv3 privacy
    protocol, the non-core module Crypt::Rijndael is needed.


Here is a working sample, sanitized...
Target[router1.example.com.cpu1]: cpmCPUTotal5secRev.1&cpmCPUTotal1mi
nRev.1:foo at router1.example.com::3:1:1:3
SnmpOptions[router1.example.com.cpu1]:
authkey=>'0xf0aba...',authprotocol=>'sha',privprotocol=>'aescfb128',username
=>
'foo',privkey=>'0x03b...¹
