Connections to Db2, BigSQL or Data Virtualization using JWT must specify the securityMechanism name-value pair

In Cognos Analytics 11.2.2, data server connections that support JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication must now include a specific value for the JCC securityMechanism property. This value must be included in the connection definition.

IBM server products that support JWT require different values in the IBM JCC securityMechanism name-value pair. Starting with this release, the securityMechanism property value must be explicitly included in the connection definition.

For existing connections to IBM® Db2, BigSQL, and Data Virtualization that use a JWT, the connections must have the set of name-value pairs required by the IBM data product, which will include the securityMechnanism name-value pair.

For more information, see Connections that support JWT authentication.
