<div><p>DDM and DRDA<sup>®</sup> over native TCP/IP does not use <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> communications
security services and concepts such as communications devices, modes, secure
location attributes, and conversation security levels which are associated
with Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC). Therefore, security
setup for TCP/IP is quite different.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5sourcesecurity.htm">Application requester security in a TCP/IP network</a></strong><br />
Different connectivity scenarios call for using different levels of authentication. Therefore, an administrator can set the lowest security authentication method required by the application requester (AR) when connecting to an application server (AS) by setting the preferred authentication method field in each RDB directory entry.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5targetsecurity.htm">Application server security in a TCP/IP network</a></strong><br />
The TCP/IP server has a default security of user ID with clear-text password. This means that, as the server is installed, inbound TCP/IP connection requests must have at least a clear-text password accompanying the user ID under which the server job is to run.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5connsec.htm">Connection security protocols for DDM or DRDA</a></strong><br />
Several connection security protocols are supported by the current <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries™</span> implementation of distributed
data management (DDM) or Distributed Relational
Database Architecture™ (DRDA) over TCP/IP.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5sslddm.htm">Secure Sockets Layer for DDM and DRDA</a></strong><br />
DB2
Universal Database™ for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> Distributed
Relational Database Architecture™ (DRDA) clients do not support Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5ipsecddm.htm">Internet Protocol Security Protocol for DDM/DRDA</a></strong><br />
Internet Protocol Security Protocol (IPSec) is a security protocol in the network layer that provides cryptographic security services. These services support confidential delivery of data over the Internet or intranets.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5clearpass.htm">Considerations for certain passwords being passed as clear text</a></strong><br />
Although <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> supports
the encryption of connection passwords, one of the connection security options
you can specify in setting up an RDB directory entry is *USRIDPWD.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbae5ports.htm">Ports and port restrictions for DDM/DRDA</a></strong><br />
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.</li>
