DB2ers,
I am a newbie to DB2 but have enough experience with other database
servers. Many database servers such as SQLServer offer a dual-mode
authentication mechanism, that is, either you can use standard Windows
authentication or specify a username that is not necessarily a Windows
account name. From reading various posts, it appears this is not
possible for DB2. Is this correct?
I did try to create a new database user. Control Center->All
databases->SAMPLE->Users and Groups object->Add user. User creation
worked. I also see that no Windows account was created with the
username I specified. This is confusing. Seems like my previous
assumption is not valid. If this is not a Windows account, where is the
password stored? I don't see any option to change password.
Thank you in advance for enlightening me.
