As I read in archives of this news group, DB2 UDB doesn't currently support
PAM for authentication.

Does anybody know if it is planned to support it ? If yes, when ?

Many thanks
regards
André

PAM : Pluggable Authentication Module
We currently use pam_smb ( a pam module for smb ) to authenticate linux
users against the Windows domain.
We are soon migrating from pam_smb to pam_kerberos to authenticate users
against active directory.

Unfortunually, the authentication of such a user defined on Linux platform
failed because DB2 doesn't support pam !

DB2 will use whatever authentication your operating system is using. If
you use PAM for Linux authentication, then DB2 will honour it from the O/S.
