If you plan to use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) directory server feature with Windows Server
2003, you have to extend the Active Directory schema to contain DB2® object
classes and attribute definitions using the db2schex command.
About this task
To extend the directory schema:
Before you begin
Extending the directory schema before installing DB2 products
and creating databases provide the following benefits:
- The default DB2 instance,
created during the installation, is cataloged as a DB2 node in Active Directory, provided that the
installation user ID had sufficient privileges to write to Active
Directory.
- Any databases created after installation is automatically cataloged
into Active Directory.
Procedure
- Log onto any machine that is part of the Windows domain with a Windows user
account that has Schema Administration authority.
- Run the db2schex command from the installation
DVD . You can run this command without logging off and logging on
again, as follows:
runas /user:MyDomain\Administrator x:\db2\Windows\utilities\db2schex.exe
where x: represents
the DVD drive letter.
What to do next
When
db2schex completes, you can proceed
with the installation of your DB2 product; or if you have already
installed DB2 products or created databases, you have to
manually register the node and catalog the databases. For more information,
see the
"Enabling LDAP support after DB2 installation is complete" topic.
