DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC68634 Status: Closed

THE NON-ROOT INSTALLFIXPACK FAILS WHEN THE
ENABLE_OS_AUTHENTICATION=YES IS ENABLED USING THE DB2RFE SCRIPT

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
If we enable OS Authentication variable 
ENABLE_OS_AUTHENTICATION=YES by db2rfe as a root user, db2ckpw 
file will be owned by root. So the non-root installfixpak fails 
with the error: 
 
db2chglibpath: Unable to open file for write: 
/home/db2nrusr/sqllib/security/db2ckpw': error: 13(Permission 
denied)

Local Fix:
(1)  As non-root user, move the file "db2ckpw" to some tmp 
 
location: 
mv ~/sqllib/security/db2ckpw ~/ 
 
(2)  As non-root user, re-run the installFixPack command as 
before, but add the "-f level" option: 
 
./installFixPack -b /home/db2nrusr/sqllib -f level 
 
(3)  As root user, re-run the same db2rfe command as before 
with the same db2rfe.cfg file used 
cd /export/home/nonroot/sqllib/instance 
 
 ./db2rfe -f db2rfe.cfg 
 
with INSTANCENAME=<non-root user> 
 
 
ENABLE_OS_AUTHENTICATION=YES 
 
At this point, we should be able to run db2start as non-root 
instance.
