Default [range]

Null [any valid string ]

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, SERVER_ENCRYPT, DATA_ENCRYPT, or DATA_ENCRYPT_CMP. 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.
