Aunthentication Question

Hi,
I am using DB2 Enterprise v9 and I had the install done to make the
server use Windows Authentication. I would like to get the DB2 Server
to use sql authentication ( Eg user sa in sql server). From what I
read this is not possible in DB2. I read authentication in DB2 is
always external and u cannot create users within the database. Is this
true ? if this is possible, Any links for a reading on how this could
be achieved would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Ravi

This is not possible with the out-of-the-box configuration.

However, you can write your own security plugin to do whatever kind of
authentication that you like.

DB2 uses OS authentication, much like windows authentication and MS
SQL Server.

If you want to use another form of security, kerberos, LDAP can also
be used. You can also write your own security plugin, to access a
user table in a database.

Cheers,

db2start/ Ian ,
What I had in mind was a table within the database which can be
used to store userids and passwds. Now I know that this not possible
with DB2 !!
Thanks for confirming that for me.
