Managing access through trusted contexts

You can use trusted contexts to manage access to your Db2 subsystems, which helps you improve data security.

You can use trusted connections within a trusted context. When you do this, you can reuse the authorization and switch users of the connection without the database server needing to authenticate the IDs. If you set field 1 (RESTART or DEFER) to DEFER and set field 2 (objects to restart or defer) to ALL in installation panel DSNTIPS, you cannot use trusted connections.
