Fix Recommendation

Use the following commands to set the protocol and ports as per PPSM guidance:

$db2 update dbm cfg using svcename [service_name | port_number]
$db2 update dbm cfg using ssl_svcename [ssl_service_name | port_number]

Check Contents

Ensure DB2 is using the SSL communication protocol:

Run the following command to find the value of the network service:

$db2 get dbm cfg

TCP/IP Service name (SVCENAME)
SSL service name (SSL_SVCENAME)

If the port numbers are not specified, look for the port numbers in services file and find the port numbers defined for the TCP/IP service name and SSL service name (SVCENAME, SSL_SVCENAME) above.

Default Location for services file:
Windows Service File: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services
UNIX Services File: /etc/services

If the network protocols and ports found in previous step are not in as per PPSM guidance, this is a finding.
