Require 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.
  3. Expand Servers.
  4. Click TCP/IP to display a list of TCP/IP servers available.
  5. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Properties.
  6. Click the Security tab and click the Next Start button.
  7. From the Require clients to sign requests drop down box, choose Yes, Optional, or No.
