    db2 username length 8 characters limit

    Hello, is there a possibility to log on to a user whose length is greater
    than 8 characters. My system is AIX and system base authentication . At
    IBM I found this information:

    Limit Windows Linux / UNIX
    Group Name Length Up to 30 characters Up to 30 characters
    User Name Length Up to 30 characters (1) (2) Up to 8 characters
    Case Case insensitive Lowercase only

    I have created a user system and I can login in the system, however, when
    I login to db2:
    su - db2inst1
    db2 connect to bartest789 I DWECTRL user error:

    SQL30082N Security processing failed with reason "24" ( "USERNAME AND / OR
    PASSWORD INVALID "). SQLSTATE = 08001

    , for example with user bartest I have no problem.
