Summary

DB2 UDB Version 8 uses a combination of external security services and internal access control information to protect data and resources associated with a database server. Kerberos and LDAP have become the industry standard for the enterprise-class directory implementation and mechanism for secure network authentication and single sign-on. It is a good practice to define an adequate level of protection for your data, periodically audit the security setup, and make necessary changes to your security policy as needed.
