Is it possible for a user to use his/her Windows Authentication ( Active Directory) to access Informix running on HP-UX. If so, how is this done? We are running Informix 11.70.FC7 on HP_UX B.11.31 U ia64.

Yes it's possible . First you need to set your os to trust ad using winbind . Setup up informix server in SQLhosts to use Pam and use the Pam passwd service . /etc/Pam.d There are other options creating users with trusted context. We have 2 customers using informix with Pam on top Linux and works perfectly .
