DOMINO AND DB2

Creating the DB2 installation account
You must have a DB2 installation account and use that user account to log on to a local computer to install the DB2 server. The DB2 Server Enablement tool uses this user account during the DB2 Domino server setup.

The DB2 installation account can be a local or domain user account that you create at the OS level in Windows/AIX and it must belong to the Administrators group on the computer on which you are performing the DB2 installation.

For details about creating user or domain accounts and assigning Administrator rights, see your Microsoft Windows or IBM AIX documentation. For example, in Microsoft Windows, create the account from the Control Panel - Administrative Tools, and then assign the Administrator rights listed below to the account from Control Panel - Local Security Policy.

The installation account must be granted the following rights:


If the Administrators group already has the administrator rights, there is no need to specifically add the DB2 installation account because these rights will be inherited.

Note If you want the DB2 Setup wizard to create a new DB2 administration server user account, which is a domain user account, the installation account that you use to perform the DB2 installation must also be assigned the right to create domain user accounts and it must belong to the Administrators group on the computer on which you are performing the DB2 installation.

After you create the DB2 installation account and assign the necessary rights, log in using the DB2 installation account to begin installing DB2.
