Connection security protocols for DDM or DRDA

 

Several connection security protocols are supported by the current DB2^® UDB for iSeries™ implementation of distributed data management (DDM) or Distributed Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA^®) over TCP/IP.

• User ID only

• User ID with clear-text password

• User ID with encrypted password

• Kerberos

With encrypted datastream support, the traditional communications trace support has little value. The Trace TCP/IP Application (TRCTCPAPP) command records outbound datastreams at a point before encryption, and inbound datastreams after decryption.
