<div><p>With the advent of new choices for security of distributed data
|
||
|
|
management (DDM) communications, the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> server
|
||
|
|
administrator can restrict certain communications modes by blocking the ports
|
||
|
|
they use. This topic discusses some of these considerations.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The DDM or DRDA<sup>®</sup> TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
server listens on port 447 (the well-known DDM port) and 446 (the well-known DRDA port)
|
||
|
|
as well as 448 (the well-known SSL port). The <span class="keyword">DB2 Universal Database™ for iSeries</span> implementation
|
||
|
|
of DDM does not distinguish between the two ports 446 and 447, however, so
|
||
|
|
both DDM and DRDA access
|
||
|
|
can be done on either port.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the convention recommended for IPSec, the port usage for the DDM
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP server follows: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>446 for clear text datastreams</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>447 for IPSec encrypted datastreams (suggested)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>448 for SSL encrypted datastreams (required)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can block usage of one or more ports at the server by using the <span class="cmdname">Configure
|
||
|
|
TCP/IP (CFGTCP)</span> command. To do this, choose the 'Work with TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
port restrictions' option of that command. You can add a restriction so that
|
||
|
|
only a specific user profile other than the one that QRWTLSTN runs under (normally
|
||
|
|
QUSER) can use a certain port, such as 446. That effectively blocks 446. If
|
||
|
|
447 were configured for use only with IPSec, then blocking 446 would allow
|
||
|
|
only encrypted datastreams to be used for DDM and DRDA access over native TCP/IP. You could
|
||
|
|
block both 447 and 448 to restrict usage only to SSL. It might be impractical
|
||
|
|
to follow these examples for performance or other reasons (such as current
|
||
|
|
limited availability of SSL-capable clients), but they are given to show the
|
||
|
|
possible configurations.</p>
