The customer can connect to the DB2 database with all users with DB2 rights except those in the /etc/passwd directory when passing in a userid and password.
Applies to: All version of Centrify Suite with DB2.
Problem: Unable to authenticate into a DB2 instance when passing in a user ID and password that is located in the /etc/passwd file. AD accounts work and local accounts work when not passing in the user ID and password.
Resolution: The parameters in the /etc/pam.d/centrifydc_db2userpass file are formatted incorrectly. The format should be changed from:
auth include system-auth auth required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth
After making this change, please restart adclient and then re-try the DB2 authentication with the user ID and password for a user in the /etc/passwd file again.
