 DB2-Client and LDAP Hi all, we save our db informations in a ldap directory. I can set ldap options with the
db2set command. But how can I configure the db2 client for more than one ldap
directory server? Because what happens, if the one isn't available.
A lot of thanks in advance,
Sebastian von Swiontek

DB2-Client and LDAP Quote: > Because what happens, if the one isn't available?
Use LDAP replication to ensure that there is always an LDAP server available, and use DNS to "publish" them. For example, with the Microsoft Active Directory, you set up multiple DCs in the domain (dcpromo on multiple Windows 2000 servers). Oher LDAP servers have similar functionality. [You didn't mention which you were using].

DB2-Client and LDAP Heyya, thanks to Mark, but sorry, we do not use ADS. We use two IBM SecureWay Directory
Server in an UNIX environment. And sure, both are "published" in DNS.
Now we have to configure the DB2 clients to ask the master LDAP server for db2
informations. But if the master isn't available because of whatever, the db2
clients have to ask the secondaray LDAP server. But I can set up by "db2set
DB2LDAPHOST={host}" only one hostname. Are there any other possibilites?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

DB2-Client and LDAP As I said: "Other LDAP servers have similar functionality." IBM Secureway does offer such support; we have it in production on AIX. You may need to use the IBM LDAP client. Details are in the DB2 Admin Guide appendix Q for IBM SecureWay V3.1. Note however, that the DB2LDAPHOST variable is _only_ required on Unix
systems (DB2 Admin Guide appendix Q), and is itself, a workaround for a
platform-specific restriction. In other words, if your client is on Unix,
then yes, you may have the problem you describe, and there is no resolution
for that platform (the Unix platform is unable to locate the LDAP directory
dynamically). You haven't specified your platform.

DB2-Client and LDAP Thanks Mark. We use the IBM SWD on Linux and a DB2-Cluster on AIX. The LDAP-Server is mainly
for our Windows and OS/2 DB2-Clients. I installed a DB2 Runtime client on a
Windows system. I didn't installed the IBM SWD LDAP client. At the command line
processor I can enable the ldap query and it works. But I have to specify my
LDAP host. But you said the db2 clients can dynamically locate a LDAP Directory,
right? But how can I configure it?
We use the LDAP server to store Oracle DB informations too. I can configure the
Oracle clients with a list of available LDAP servers. Very simple. Why does not
the DB2 client provides such a similarly solution?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

DB2-Client and LDAP I cannot answer questions of the "why don't IBM implement feature X in DB2 UDB?" I too can list a bunch of X's (e.g. package versioning), but I am not privy to the design choices made by IBM. For the answer to "how do I set up LDAP", I can only refer you again to the
DB2 Admin Guide Appendix Q. I would also point out that, by your own
admission, you didn't install the IBM SecureWay LDAP client, although the
DB2 Admin Guide tells you to do so.
Silly question: If your LDAP is mostly for WIndows and OS/2 clients, why
don't you make your life simpler and use Active Directory? For the Windows
clients things will be much easier.
