Updating Db2 password for a stand-alone IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server
After you change or reset the Db2 password on the computer that hosts the IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server, you must update the password in IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager so that IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager can continue to connect to the Db2 database.
About this task
The password of the Db2 Administrator user must be the same as that of the Db2 data source password in WebSphere Application Server Liberty.
You need to change the Db2 password at the operating system level in accordance with the password expiration policy as defined by your organization. If the password expires, the IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user interface displays a data-loading error. You must then reset the Db2 password and update it in IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager. To update the password on the operating system, you must be the database instance owner on an AIX® or Linux® system, or the Local Administrator on a Windows system.
