TRANSPARENT LDAP WITH VAS ON AIX, GETGRSET MAY RETURN A GROUP ID THAT GETGRID FAILS TO RETRIEVE FULL GROUP INFORMATION FOR |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
DB2 Transparent LDAP on AIX makes use of the operating system
functions 'getgrset' and 'getgrid' to gather a DB2 user's group
membership information. 'getgrset' will return a list of group
IDs to which a user belongs. 'getgrid' will return the full
group information, such as the group name. The group information
is used by DB2 to determine the user's database privileges.
When the functions 'getgrset' and 'getgrid' fail, DB2 may not be
able to obtain the full group membership and as a consequence,
DB2 may not recognize the database privileges the User has been
granted via group membership.
With LAM customers can install third party modules, like the
ones provided by VAS, that allow customizing of the behaviour of
the functions 'getgrset' and 'getgrid'. When the VAS LAM is
installed, the 'getgrset' function may return a group ID which
the 'getgrid' function will fail to retrieve the full group
information for.
DB2 was never officially tested with VAS LAM and hence can not
claim support. However, in the interest of our customers, we
will be adding code to workaround the problem described in this
APAR. |
