Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS > Security Concepts for a DB2 for z/OS Environment > Operating System SecurityThe DB2 Connect middleware passes the user ID and password used to access Siebel Business Applications to DB2 to establish a connection. The user ID and password can be user credentials supplied by the external security adapter, if you are using an external security adapter. The Security Administrator on z/OS must preregister all user IDs and passwords passed through DB2 Connect with the z/OS security package in use, for example, Resource Access Control Facility (RACF), ACF/2, or TOP SECRET. The z/OS Security Administrator can associate the user ID with a secondary authorization ID (also known as the Security Group ID on the Deployment Planning Worksheet) within the z/OS security package to simplify database security privilege administration. DB2 Connect supports password encryption on the DB2 for z/OS platform. NOTE: The password rules for Siebel user IDs for DB2 are determined by the operating system security interface (RACF, ACF/2, or TOP SECRET). |
