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.
