when I try to connect....

db2 connect to <databasename> user<username> using <password>


I get....

SQL30082N Security processing failed with reason "36" ("UNEXPECTED CLIENT ERROR"). SQLSTATE=08001




Please Help

The usual questions:

• Which version of DB2 are you using (server and client)?
• Which platform(s) are you running on?
• What do you find in the db2diag output on the client when you try to connect?

1. I am using the 90 day V9 trial version of UDB . Is it client or server. Must I install both
2. Linux
3. Nothing in diaglog

Have you set the DBM CF parameter DIAGLEVEL to 4? You should then have something in the db2diag.log (or output from the "db2diag" tool).

Yes diag leve set to 4

So what do you see in the db2diag output? (at the client)

Password validation for user fsledge failed with rc = -2146500315

Then run the following command to figure out what this reason code stands fore:
[code]
$ db2diag -rc -2146500315
[code]
And since the password validation failed, you may want to check your password settings. Maybe you have some special characters in the password that DB2 does not allow? Have a look at the DB2 manual to check rules for passwords.
