Error description
When using trusted connections and a trusted-context object a user may be authorized for use without authentication. An example: CREATE TRUSTED CONTEXT tc1 BASED UPON CONNECTION USING SYSTEM AUTHID 'user1' ATTRIBUTES (ADDRESS 'host1') WITH USE FOR user2 WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION DEFAULT ROLE testrole ENABLE ; In this example user1 establishes a trusted connection to the Informix server and should then be able to switch to the user2 without having to provide user2's password. However this operation fails and error -26456 "The authorization ID <user2> is not defined for the trusted context" is returned. If the trusted context object is created WITH AUTHENTICATION for user2 then the switch user operation will succeed when a valid password is provided.
