DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

You get error "CLI0199E  Invalid connection string attribute" 
when you try to connect using the CLI (Call Level Interface) API 
to a cataloged database if the Authentication parameter is 
specified in the connection string or in the db2cli.ini 
initialization file. 
 
Related APARs IC95688, IC95824, IC96358 and IC96683 are for an 
error when the Authentication parameter is specified not in the 
connection string or in the db2cli.ini initialization file but 
in the db2dsdriver.cfg file.

As a workaround, you can omit the Authentication parameter from 
the connection string and the db2cli.ini initialization file.
