If the name exists in the LDAP directory, the database is still created on the local computer but a warning message is returned stating the naming conflict in the LDAP directory. For this reason, you can manually catalog a database in the LDAP directory. The user can register databases on a remote server in LDAP by using the CATALOG LDAP DATABASE command. When registering a remote database, you specify the name of the LDAP node that represents the remote database server. You must register the remote database server in LDAP using the REGISTER DB2 SERVER IN LDAP command before registering the database.
