Why cant you have a password in the job? Security? I have some perl code
that maintains passwords encrypted (very light weight encryption but much
better than plaintext.

Subject: Help with DB2-UDB V8 Perl DBI Connect



Does anyone know of a way to connect to UDB using Perl/DBI without a
password?

My client has an environment that does not allow users to logon, and run
production jobs. They have to be scheduled through a remote package that
logs on as super user, and then does a nohup with the account that has
permissions to the database. I have access to the userid, but cannot have a
password in my job. The Unix scripts use the DB2 command, and it defaults to
the current logged on user.
