Authenticating DB2 ODBC users against Active Directory

bmeckle · 07-05-2005, 09:01 AM

We are running DB2 8.1 on an AIX 5.2 box and would like to make it authenticate against Active Directory. Has anyone done this? I found procedures (http://rc.vintela.com/topics/howto/db2/) and have followed them. But so far have been unable to get DB2 ODBC users to authenticate correctly. I can see in the logs that kerberos is working and is connecting to AD to get information but user authentication fails.

Any advice or help with this problem is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

is everything correct from AIX point of view ? Can the users connect through telnet or do they have password errors?

I am able to connect using SSH and SFTP, I can also authenticate sudo users. But not ODBC users.
