I have created a DB2 database, and I'm trying to create a new user.
Here the steps I made :
- Creating an OS (Linux) user with root account (useradd myuser)
- Giving a password to the new user (passwd myuser)
- On IBM Data Studio, I added a new user and grant him connect to the database
But on Linux, with the user which owns the instance, I tried to connect to the database with the new user (db2 connect to MYDB user myuser), I've the following :
SQL30082N Security processing failed with reason "24" ("USERNAME AND/OR
PASSWORD INVALID"). SQLSTATE=08001
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks in advance for your help

The answer might depend on the DB2 version. Until DB2 9.7 fix pack 1 you could not have the password longer than 8 characters. And how long is the actual user name? I would limit that to 8 characters as well. The error is quite clear: the user authentication fails, and DB2 relies on the OS for authentication.
