Configuring the access list

This topic describes the access details that you require, depending on your configuration.

To configure the access list, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Database as the Component Type.
  2. Select DB2® as the Vendor.
  3. Specify the following required information:
    1. User name
    2. Password

The DB2 UNIX sensor uses credentials from the access list in the following sequence:

  1. The sensor searches the access list looking for the DB2 user credentials.

    This is the owner of the current DB2 instance.

  2. If step 1 fails, the sensor attempts to connect to DB2 using each DB2 user credential from the access list.
  3. If step 2 fails, the sensor attempts to connect using the Computer System user credentials (using user credentials from the Computer System access list).

For discovery of multiple DB2 installations on a single machine: DB2, the user credentials from the access list must belong to the DB2 administration group for all DB2 installations.
