Many companies are migrating their legacy mainframe workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This migration includes shifting IBM Db2 for z/OS databases to Db2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows (LUW) on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). During a phased migration from on premises to AWS, users might need to access data in IBM Db2 z/OS and in Db2 LUW on Amazon EC2 until all applications and databases are fully migrated to Db2 LUW. In such remote data-access scenarios, user authentication can be challenging because different platforms use different authentication mechanisms.
