Workspace Db2 for z/OS

More granular enforcement SSL encryption for DRDA and Native Db2 z/OS REST applications.

In a recent VA scan of one of our systems one of our DB2 subsystems were flagged due to basic authentication being made available for HTTP traffic. In looking into this we found that if you point a browser at a DB2 subsystems non-encrypted DRDA ports it will come back with a prompt to enter a userid and password. Basic authentication being enabled for HTTP traffic is a major violation at our company so now every one of our close to 400 DB2 subsystems have been marked as out of compliance.

We can’t just shutdown all non-encrypted DRDA traffic as the majority of the Db2 clients are still not set up to use encrypted connections. What we need is way to disable the HTTP listener on just the unencrypted Db2 ports and still allow the DRDA traffic. This would have to happen prior to an application being presented with a logon screen as at that point they will have the ability to send an unencrypted userid and password, which would still be flagged by the VA scan.
