By default, the value is null and the Db2® supplied userid-password plug-in library is used. The plug-in is used when the client is authenticated using CLIENT authentication, or when local authorization is performed and the authentication in the DBM CFG is CLIENT, SERVER, or SERVER_ENCRYPT. For non-root installations, if the Db2 userid and password plug-in library is used, the db2rfe command must be run before using your Db2 database product.
