Configuring client authentication

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.
