DB2 Version 9.1;Sun Solaries V5.9
DB authenticatation is SERVER

I would like to setup all/few DB2 client users can connect to the database by not providing the user name and password.(by default,instance users are able to connect like this).

Ex : db2 "connect to db_name"

How to enable implicit authentication.

Thanks in advance.

I am aware of changing the authentication to CLIENT but I don't want to do it.

Old environments in my organization are with SEVER authentication but DB2 clients are still able to connect without providing user name and password.I am new to my organization not sure how it was handled.Any clues..?.Thanks
