About DB2 security plugin for PAM/LAM

db2_sys-auth is a security plugin for DB2 UDB that authenticates users using PAM or AIX's LAM. With VAS, 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 VAS, LDAP, NIS and other third-party external systems.

This plugin is suitable for DB2 UDB 8.2+/9.1+ Server, Client, and Groups products.
