Troubleshooting
Problem
This document will describe how to configure the System i Access for Windows OLE DB Providers (IBMDA400, IBMDASQL, and IBMDARLA) to connect to the IBM i DB2 UDB using Kerberos.
Resolving The Problem
Note: This document does not cover the setup of Kerberos. It assumes Kerberos has already been set up and is functional for the System i Host Servers and the System i Access for Windows application.
The System i Access for Windows OLE DB Providers (IBMDA400, IBMDASQL, and IBMDARLA) began supporting Kerberos when the iSeries Access for Windows client began its support at V5R3.
How to enable the System i Access OLE DB Providers to use the Kerberos principal with no prompting
| 1. | Configure System i Navigator to use the Kerberos Principal (if you have not already done so). Note: The server name configured in System i Navigator must exactly match the name specified on the DataSource OLE DB connection property. a. Open System i Navigator. b Right click on your system and select Properties. c Click on the Connection tab. d In the Signon information section, select the radio button next to Use Kerberos principal name, no prompting. e Click OK, and restart System i Navigator. |
| 2. | Do not specify the User ID or Password connection properties on the connection string. For the System i Access OLE DB provider to use the Kerberos principal, a userID and password must not be passed on the connection. VB Example: <connection>.Open "Provider=IBMDA400;Data Source=SystemA |
