Registration of DB2 servers after installation
Each DB2® server instance must be registered in LDAP
to publish the protocol configuration information that is used by
the client applications to connect to the DB2 server
instance.
Catalog a node alias for ATTACH
A node name for the DB2 server must be specified when registering
the server in LDAP. Applications use the node name to attach to the database
server.
Registration of databases in the LDAP directory
During the creation of a database within an instance, the
database is automatically registered in LDAP. Registration allows
remote client connection to the database without having to catalog
the database and node on the client computer. When a client attempts
to connect to a database, if the database does not exist in the database
directory on the local computer then the LDAP directory
is searched.
