Comment | |
Due to the way SSL connections were handled in prior releases of Db2, the authentication code was not able to access structures necessary to authenticate users against the cache. This issue was resolved in Db2 11.5.7. After upgrading, use "db2pd -authenticationcache" to verify that users are being cached: db2pd -authenticationcache -db | |
