By default, IBM Rational ClearQuest does not encrypt database
passwords sent to the DB2 server.
To encrypt database passwords sent to the DB2 server,
you must use the connect option DB2_SECURE_LOGIN. The authentication method for the
DB2 server must be SERVER_ENCRYPT. For these parameters to work,
the DB2 server must be configured for encryption. For
more information on enabling encryption on a DB2 server, see the appropriate
IBM DB2 Information Center:
http://www.ibm.com/support/publications/us/library/.
Note: Using
DB2_SECURE_LOGIN with a DB2 server that is not configured for encryption
causes an ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol driver error.
