Deploying a change password plug-in

To enable support for changing passwords in the Db2® database products on Linux® or AIX®, you must configure the Db2 instance to use Transparent LDAP.

About this task

Important: The IBMOSchgpwdclient and IBMOSchgpwdserver plugins have been deprecated as of Db2 version 11.5, and will be removed in a future release. The default password plugins (IBMOSauthserver and IBMOSauthclient) are functionally identical, and should be used instead of the change password plugins.

Procedure

To configure transparent LDAP, refer to the following documentation based on your specific operating system:

For Linux, refer to: Configuring transparent LDAP for authentication and group lookup (Linux).
For AIX, refer to: Configuring transparent LDAP for authentication and group lookup (AIX).
