Defining secure connections

Follow these steps to define a secure connection to a Db2 subsystem.

About this task

If you want to define a secure connection between Db2 Query Monitor and a network peer (such as a Db2 subsystem), Db2 Query Monitor must trust that peer. There are two methods to achieve this:

Procedure

(Preferred method) The certificate provided by the peer is a non-expired certificate signed by a well-known certificate authority (such as Thawte, VeriSign, etc.) that is already trusted by the Java™ VM that you are using to run the CAE Server. If you are able to use this preferred method, then you do not need to import a certificate into the CAE Server.
