Database Password Encryption for DB2

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.
