I don't think DB2 supports PAM, but see:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=9fr14j%24evq%241%40newsmaster.cc.columbia.edu

If it doesn't, then (assuming it does support ordinary UNIX authentication),
you can use nss_ldap as long as it can read the crypt(3) userPasswords from
the directory.
