Juniper + SNMPv3

Question

I'm trying to configure some new Juniper gear(SRX and EX) with SNMPv3 and getting it added to a new SW install. SW is saying my device is not responding, and my device is saying it's dropping the packets "because they referenced an SNMP engine ID that was not known to the SNMP engine". I've tried various combinations of changing the engine-id with no luck. Does anyone have any experience that I may be overlooking? I've previously added the same type of devices with SNMPv2 without problems.

I have recently been tasked to try and get Solar Winds Orion setup and working. We are going to attempt to use it to monitor some Juniper routers and also some solaris servers, vm ware etc. I am completely new to NM. Any advice or procedures you could provide to assist would be appreciated beyond belief. We have used SNMP V3 in the past to monitor the juniper equipment so I assume the idea would be to set that up on Solar Winds to talk to the juniper equipment.

Just for future reference I found out the problem in my Juniper config...

The security-name throughout the config has to match the username. And also make sure your MIB view is correctly configured.
