Requiring clients to sign requests

Communications between client and server can be made more secure by requiring clients to sign requests.

This is done using a key derived from the client's authentication data. By default, clients are not required to sign requests.

To require clients to sign requests, follow these steps:

1. Open iSeries™ Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.

2. Expand Network > Servers.

3. Click TCP/IP to display a list of TCP/IP servers available.

4. Right-click iSeries NetServer™ and select Properties.

5. Click the Security tab and click the Next Start button.

6. From the Require clients to sign requests drop down box, choose Yes, Optional, or No.
