Property AuthenticationMethod

Namespace

YndigoBlue.Velocity.Data.DB2

Assembly

YndigoBlue.Velocity.dll

AuthenticationMethod

Gets or sets the DB2 authentication mechanism used when UseIntegratedSecurity is true.

public DB2AuthenticationMethod AuthenticationMethod { get; set; }

Property Value

DB2AuthenticationMethod

Examples

// Connect using LDAP-backed GSS plugin authentication
var conn = new DB2DatasourceConnection
{
    Hostname = "db2server.example.com",
    Port = 50000,
    Database = "SAMPLE",
    UseIntegratedSecurity = true,
    AuthenticationMethod = DB2AuthenticationMethod.GssPlugin
};

Remarks

This property maps to the Authentication= keyword in the IBM DB2 connection string. It is only applied when UseIntegratedSecurity is set to true; it has no effect when username/password authentication is used.

The default value is Kerberos, which covers most Active Directory / Kerberos-integrated environments. For LDAP or other GSS-backed authentication, use GssPlugin or GssServerEncrypt.

Note: Velocity only sets the connection string keyword. The underlying authentication infrastructure — Kerberos ticket cache, DB2 GSS plugin configuration, LDAP bind settings — must be configured externally on both the client machine and the DB2 server.
