M4350-12X12F SNMP v3 traps configuration

How to configure SNMP v3 Traps on this switch?

I have current snmp config:

snmp-server sysname "CENSORED-SYSNAME"
!
snmp-server user "zabbix-netgear" DefaultWrite auth-sha512-key CENSORED-AUTHKEY priv-aes128-key CENSORED-ENCKEY
snmp-server password-strength
snmp-server v3-host CENSORED-IP "zabbix-netgear" traps priv
acl-trapflags
snmp-server enable traps captive-portal
snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change
ip dvmrp trapflags
ip pim-trapflags

However snmptrapd says that this user has authentication failure, here is part of the config

createUser -e SWITCH_ENGINE_ID zabbix-netgear SHA "CENSORED-AUTHKEY" AES "CENSORED-ENCKEY"

Despite having correct engine ID, correct keys switch cannot properly authenticate? I think problem lays in switch itself because sending test trap using snmptrap with same engine ID, auth key and encryption key works fine. 

Firmware 14.0.4.14
