DOMINO AND DB2

Domino and DB2 user accounts that are needed for Domino and DB2
To install the IBM® DB2 Universal Database™ Enterprise Server Edition software on Microsoft® Windows® or on IBM® AIX® or UNIX®, you need an installation account.
Accounts required with Microsoft Windows

Each account is fully explained later in the documentation, but here is a list of the user accounts that you will need:

1. A DB2 administrator's account which is an OS user account. This OS user account starts the DB2 services.

2. A DB2 user account that the IBM® Lotus® Domino® server uses to authenticate with the DB2 server. This DB2 user account is created during DB2 server enablement and is called the Domino server user account.


3. An IBM® Lotus® Notes® user account with Domino server access rights.

4. A DB2 account name which is an OS user account that you will map to the IBM® Lotus® Notes® user account. This mapped account is needed for accessing the DB2 Access Views and Query Views.

Accounts required with AIX/UNIX/Linux

Each account is fully explained later in the documentation, but here is a list of the user accounts that you will need:

1. A DB2 user account name that Domino uses to authenticate with the DB2 server. This account can be the DB2 instance owner, in which case, it is created when the DB2 instance is created during DB2 server installation and configuration. If you are not using the DB2 instance account, this DB2 account is created during the DB2 server enablement process and is called the Domino server user account. For more information about the DB2 server enablement process, see the topic Enabling the Domino server to communicate with the DB2 server.

2. A Notes user account with Domino server access rights.

3. A DB2 account name which is an OS user account that you will map to the Notes user account. This mapped account is needed for accessing the DB2 Access Views and Query views.
