Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jun 17, 2019

Db2 trace data should provide metrics related to secured connections (SSL, AT-TLS)

On our approach to convert all tcp/ip based connections to Db2 for z/OS to secured/protected ones (SSL,AT-TLS),  we are missing a way to measure our progress here.

The only way to get information about the portion of secured connections is (as far as I know) by command -DIS LOCATION DETAIL where you can find the terms AES, TLS etc. in case of a protected connection. But unfortunately this is a snapshot info only and not useful to see how many clients/requestors are actually using a secured way to connect.

We would appreciate to find those attributes in Db2 trace data or similar.
