Configure database

  1. Type the user ID for the DB2(R) administrator in the User ID field. This must be an existing user ID with administrator authority. The user ID you specify will own the database instance where the DB2 database will exist, and the instance will be in the user's home directory. The user ID can be no longer than 8 characters.

    Note: If you want a different database instance name, you must use the ldapcfg command with the -t option to configure the database. See the IBM(R) Tivoli Directory Server Version 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for information.

  2. Type the password for the user in the Password field.
  3. Click Next.

If you are creating a new database, a DB2 instance with the same name as the user ID will be created to hold the database.
