BIFs ENRYPT_DATAKEY and DECRYPT_DATAKEY* should be able to check with user ID of ACEE

The BIFs ENRYPT_DATAKEY and DECRYPT_DATAKEY* are very useful for encrypting and decrypting data (e.g., passwords) that are to be stored in DB2 tables. The programmer does not have to worry about the keys used, as they are stored in the ICSF. When ...

enhance smf records for reporting secure connections

When just beginning to implement secure db2 ports (sometimes called encryption in-flight), it is helpful to report on the performance of queries that are secure vs queries that are non-secure. This can help us to fully tune our applications for th...

Allow for clear text NEWAUTHID in SYSIBM.USERNAMES

We use SYSPROC.DSNLEUSR to encrypt usernames and passwords that are stored in the DSNLEUSR table, The procedure encrypts both NEWAUTHID and PASSWORD. It becomes difficult to manage the SYSIBM.USERNAMES table as we cannot see the NEWAUTHID in clear...

Allow Encrypted Connection for IBM Debug Tool and Unified Debugger

Reviewing the connection with the Db2 Unified debugger, it was determined it was not using an encrypted port. All tools (mainframe or otherwise) should support full encryption over ATL-TLS.

Db2 To Provide A Way To Override Certain Implicit Table Space Parameters Default Values

TSYS has QMF applications running in 6 UAT and Production Db2 environments. There are approximately 2,600+ client users running QMF queries and procs for their applications in those Db2 environments. Many of the users are creating temporary tables...

Message DSNX241I will not appear after -SET SYSPARM if ENCRYPTION_KEYLABEL did not change

We are running DB2 12 FL 509 and zparm parameter ENCRYPTION_KEYLABEL does not have a value (is null or blank). Even having ENCRYPTION_KEYLABEL set to null, every time I issue a -SET SYSPARM command to reload the same zparm module (after altering o...

Status change or pending DDL when adding a KEY LABEL to an existing table

When an existing table is altered to add a KEY LABEL to enable encryption on the table, the encryption only takes effect post a Reorg (effectively post a redefinition of the underlying VSAM datasets). So the alter is effectively incomplete until s...

Advisory reorg pending status for objects with altered key label

Merged
We want to encrypt db2 data using db2 control mechanisms (not via RACF or SMS definitions). This will be done by definig a key label at table level (UTS case) or stogroup level (segmented TS case). To materialize the encryption at the VSAM clust...

Allow the ability to set the management, storage, and data classes the SPUFI panels.

We have a security policy requiring us to encrypt all possible 'Data at Rest'. We use the IBM solution called Pervasive Encryption (PE). Our storage team has defined SMS Data Classes that can be used to allocate encrypted datasets. In order ...

Provide DSKEYLBL option in TEMPLATE utility

Currently there is no DSKEYLBL option in TEMPLATE utility, so if we want to encrypt the output dataset, we can not influence the allocation thru TEMPLATE.
