[What is mod_auth(nz)_ibmdb2 / Features] [next release] [Download] [CVS] [Doc / FAQ] [mod_auth_ibmdb2 Project] What is mod_auth(nz)_ibmdb2 mod_auth(nz)_ibmdb2 is an Apache authentication module using IBM® DB2® as the backend database for storing user and group information. The module supports several encryption methods. mod_authnz_ibmdb2 is designed for Apache 2.2.x. mod_auth_ibmdb2 is designed for Apache 2.0.x and 1.x. I also provide UDFs for DB2 to generate passwords within DB2. They are compatible to the functions that are used in Apache's htpasswd utility. Note to Apache 1.x users: Active development of mod_auth_ibmdb2 for Apache 1.x has been stopped. The latest version for Apache 1.x can be found in the new package 'mod_auth_ibmdb2 (Apache 1.x)'.

It then explains the creation and use of the also provided UDFs for generating passwords within DB2. FAQ Q: IBM's Websphere plugin and mod_auth(nz)_ibmdb2 seem to break each other. What can I do? A: mod_auth(nz)_ibmdb2 has to be loaded after the Websphere plugin. Q: Which versions of DB2 are supported? A: All DB2 Universal Database versions currently supported by IBM. I've tested the module with DB2 UDB v7.x, DB2 UDB v8.x and DB2 9 (9.1.x and 9.5.x). Older versions should work as well. Q: What is the difference between mod_auth_ibmdb2 and mod_authnz_ibmdb2? A: mod_authnz_ibmdb2 is based on the new authentication backend provider scheme of Apache 2.2. This module will only work for Apache 2.2.x. mod_auth_ibmdb2 works for Apache 2.0.x and 1.x. Q: What platforms are supported? A: All POSIX platforms. I've compiled and tested the module on Linux and AIX 5L (5.1, 5.2, 5.3). Since the modules are using the APR libraries now, they can be compiled on Windows as well. Binary releases for win32 can be downloaded in the download section. Q: Why isn't there a binary release for .....? A: I don't have a development environment for every operating system. Furthermore I don't think that binary releases make sense for Unix style operating systems. Q: What is the package db2-auth-udfs for? A: This package contains User Defined Functions to generate passwords within DB2. Q: How do I get support? A: Please submit support requests at the Support Request Tracker (hosted by sourceforge). Q: How do I submit bugs? A: Please submit bugs at the Bug Tracker (hosted by sourceforge). Q: How do I submit a feature request? A: Please submit feature requests at the Feature Request Tracker (hosted by sourceforge). Project Project info @ sourceforge Project activity summary:
