Client authentication allows users to connect to the entity
database without having to supply additional user name or password
credentials in the .ini file.
About this task
Client authentication is also known as trusted
OS database authentication. Client authentication allows the connection
to be made by using the currently logged in user name. This authentication
scheme trusts that the operating system already properly authenticated
the user. Client authentication can be used on DB2, Oracle, and Microsoft
SQL database platforms. The pipelines and IBM WebSphere processes
have to be executed by the O/S user who can access the entity database
in trusted mode. If multiple users must execute these processes, please
contact IBM Support for further details.
