Resources:

db2_sys-auth is a security plugin for DB2 UDB that authenticates users using PAM or AIX's LAM. With Quest Authentication Services, this plugin allows Unix-enabled Active Directory users to use your databases.

The plugin uses getgrent calls to determine group membership (getgrset on AIX), getpwnam to validate user names, and LAM/PAM to authenticate. This means DB2 can now make use of any authentication system that provides an NSS interface for information (administrative domains on AIX), and LAM/PAM for authentication. This includes Quest Authentication Services, LDAP, NIS and other third-party external systems.

This plugin is suitable for DB2 9.5+ Server, Client, and Groups products.

For DB2 v8.2 & v9.1, please use db2_sys-auth 3.0.0.5. The removal of signal handlers in 3.0.0.15 for better v9.5 interaction can cause instance crashes in earlier DB2 versions. The only fix since 3.0.0.5 that is not v9.5-specific is AIX LDAP module compatibility. If that is needed in a pre-v9.5 instance, please contact Quest Support or post on the Resource Central forum.
