Setting up JDBC for user management

The Db2® Warehouse that is employed by Guardium® Insights includes OpenLDAP, which can be configured with the JDBC protocol for user management.

Before you begin

Before you can set up JDBC for user management, you must apply a YAML file that enables the connection. Create a YAML file similar to this example:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
  name: db2-jdbc-ingress
spec:
  ingress:
  - ports:
    - port: 50000
      protocol: TCP
  podSelector:
    matchLabels:
      component: db2wh
      role: db
      type: engine
  policyTypes:
  - Ingress

Apply the file by issuing this command:

oc apply -f <yaml_file> -n=<guardium_insights_namespace>

where:

  • <yaml_file> is the file that you created based on the above example.
  • <guardium_insights_namespace> is the Guardium Insights OpenShift® namespace that you created when preparing your environment.
