Limiting functions allowed on particular DDF alias

Company security policy require some functions be segregated by network firewalls / zones to ensure only required devices can access them. For example if I could create a new DDF listener modify DDF ALIAS(DB2SSEC) SECPORT(14802) network firewalls could then restrict this port to only required devices. to complete the segregation then we need a way to limit this port / ddf alias to just the stored procedures/ users we want to permit.

    Have you looked at using a Db2 TRUSTED CONTEXT to limit functions by a client by associating a Db2 ROLE to the Db2 process? In your example, you would permit ROLE rr on PROC yy and then associate user xx to the ROLE rr only from specific IP addresses or domains.
