Enabling the LDAP plug-in modules

Compiled binary LDAP plug-in modules are found in your Db2® instance directory.

The following tables show where the LDAP plug-in modules are located on your Db2 instance.
Table 1. For 64-bit UNIX and Linux® systems
Plug-in module type Location
server /sqllib/security64/plugin/IBM/server
client /sqllib/security64/plugin/IBM/client
group /sqllib/security64/plugin/IBM/group
Table 2. For 32-bit UNIX and Linux systems
Plug-in module type Location
server /sqllib/security32/plugin/IBM/server
client /sqllib/security32/plugin/IBM/client
group /sqllib/security32/plugin/IBM/group
Table 3. For Windows systems (both 64-bit and 32-bit)
Plug-in module type Location
server %DB2PATH%\security\plugin\IBM\instance-name\server
client %DB2PATH%\security\plugin\IBM\instance-name\client
group %DB2PATH%\security\plugin\IBM\instance-name\group
Note: 64-bit Windows plug-in modules include the digits 64 in the file name.
Use the Db2 command line processor to update the database manager configuration to enable the plug-in modules that you require:
  • For the server plug-in module:
    UPDATE DBM CFG USING SRVCON_PW_PLUGIN IBMLDAPauthserver
  • For the client plug-in module:
    UPDATE DBM CFG USING CLNT_PW_PLUGIN IBMLDAPauthclient
  • For the group plug-in module:
    UPDATE DBM CFG USING GROUP_PLUGIN IBMLDAPgroups

Terminate all running Db2 command line processor backend processes, by using the db2 terminate command, and then stop and restart the instance by using the db2stop and db2start commands.
