srvcon_auth - Authentication type for incoming connections at the server configuration parameter
This parameter specifies how and where user authentication is to take place when handling incoming connections at the server; it is used to override the current authentication type.
Important: The SERVER_ENCRYPT
authentication type is deprecated, and the SERVER_ENCRYPT_AES
authentication type will not work in strict FIPS mode when FIPS 140-3 certified cryptographic
modules are introduced in a future version of Db2. For more information on the deprecation, see
Authentication methods for your server.
