Hi,

I am using the DB2 Type 4 JDBC Driver to connect to my DB2 8.2 for
Windows server.  Everything works perfectly unless I have a password
with the pipe character ( "|" ) in it.  The server password has a "|"
character in it.  If I do this, I get an exception stating that the
password is invalid.

This is what I execute ...

String password = "password|";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "username",
password);

And this is the exception that I get ...

com.ibm.db2.jcc.b.SqlException: Connection authorization failure
occurred.  Reason: password invalid.

The major and minor versions of the driver are 2.6.  I can't seem to
find any other references on the web on this issue.  Is this a known
limitation with the JDBC driver?
