IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ properties for dashDB

Unless otherwise noted, all properties are in com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2BaseDataSource.

Those properties are:

accessToken

Used to get connection used for authentication by dashDB when the security mechanism is PLUGIN_SECURITY. The data type of this property is String.

The IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ uses this option only if securityMechanism is set to PLUGIN_SECURITY(15). If no value is set for the parameter pluginName, connection is attempted by using default value of gss_dashdb_iam to pluginName.

If the property is set along with user or apikey, a connection error is thrown indicating only one of them must be used.

Maximum length of the accessToken is set to 8192.

This value applies only to SSL connections to dash DB. Non-SSL connections are not supported. This property applies only to IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4 connectivity.
