I've got a db2 9.1 FP1 server running on RHAS 4U4. We use this server for development purposes only. We were using it with Kerberos authentication. However our KDC server has died, and I don't have enough time right now to rebuild it.

Is there a way I can start the db2 server and not have it use Kerberos authentication? When I try to start the db2 server right now, it gives the following error:

-bash-3.00$ db2start
SQL1366N A security plug-in "IBMkrb5" processing error occurred on the client. Reason code = "9".


I'm a neophyte when it comes to db2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I think it should be enough to set the srvcon_auth database manager configuration parameter to SERVER.

db2 update dbm cfg using srvcon_auth server

I used the command as you stated.

db2 => update dbm cfg using srvcon_auth server
DB20000I The UPDATE DATABASE MANAGER CONFIGURATION command completed
successfully.


but when I try to start the server, I still have the same problem.

db2 => db2start
SQL1366N A security plug-in "IBMkrb5" processing error occurred on the
client. Reason code = "9".

Any other ideas?

Thank you

You could also try setting the srvcon_gssplugin_list parameter to NULL.

If all else fails, try reading the manual.
