Status: Closed |
DB2PREREQCHECK GIVES WARNING "THE 32-BIT LIBRARY FILE LIBPAM.SO IS NOT FOUND ON THE SYSTEM." WHEN THE REQUIRED LIBPAM.SO.0 EXIST |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The db2prereqcheck utility was enhanced to check for libpam.so
in DB2 version 9.7 FP6 via APAR IC78338 and the validation is
done by looking up "libpam.so" (either a file or a symbolic
link) on the system. The original approach was to look up the
file libpam.so.0 on system, however this would not work on
systems with updated PAM module. PAM module could be updated
from time to time and if we hard-coded db2prereqcheck to check
for libpam.so.0, then the check would fail on newer system where
the module might have updated to upper version like libpam.so.1.
In most case a symbolic link of libpam.so would be created to
point to latest version of libpam.so.x, hence have
db2prereqcheck to look for libpam.so (either a file or a symbol
link). This approach was to avoid any further issue with PAM
module upgrade on affected platform. However this may not work
on older system which has libpam.so.0 only. |
