We have a system at one of our customers where the db2diag.log file is
filled with these messages (they always come together):

2010-06-04-21.11.30.788000+120 I2866F457 LEVEL: Warning

MESSAGE : application id:

The users don't seem to notice any inconvenience, but the log gets
filled up and thus makes it difficult to discover any other messages
of importance. Can anyone share their ideas of what may cause this?

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Your settings are pretty much default, so I'm not quite
sure yet, why you get this warning.

I assume you don't get this warning for all users, just for some of them, right?

The return code means:

Identifer:
SQLO_BAD_PSW
Identifer (without component):
SQLZ_RC_BADPSW

Description:
The password is not valid for the specified userid

I have to investigate further. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Odd,

That should never have happened. Could you delete db2diag.log, start a db2
trace, do a connect with the bad password and send me the trace and
db2diag.log (zipped)?

Please format the trace as fmt and flw.

Thanks.
