Security requirements make us move to use two factor authentication when accessing Db2 for z/OS. We do have everything set up for the server side by using AT-TLS ServerWithClientAuth configuration for our Db2 for z/OS systems.
We can also make Db2 Connect talk to the MSCAPI via GSKit. But there is a missing part to be able to keep the certificate and its private key on the smart card. This is due to the ODBC driver requiring a clientlabel for certificate(client) authentication. As we understand it, the clientlabel is something you add to a certificate in your local keystore in order to being able to reference it and distinguish it from other certificates stoed in the local keystore.
Since our physical client certificates has to stay in the smart card (not to be stored in a local keystore) to provide true multi factor authentication, there is no possibility to locally add a label - and a label is not an X .509 attribute that can be put into a certificate by a certificate authority.

You can omit setting the SSLClientLabel keyword for the CERTIFICATE authentication if exactly one personal certificate and one key entry exists in the Keystore or Microsoft Certificate Store (MSCS). Otherwise, you must specify the SSLClientLabel keyword for the CERTIFICATE authentication.
If your keystore, or MSCS, has more than one personal certificate or more than one key entry, and the SSLClientLabel keyword is not set for certificate authentication, the CLI Driver returns an SQL30081N error.

This enhancement we have delivered in Db2 V12.1 release. So, please use the latest version of IBM Db2 ODBC/CLI Driver and verify it. We have made setting of SSLClientLabel optional for two factor authentication if your keydb has exactly once certificate and exactly one key entry. Thanks.
