> Overview:
> DRDA spec specifies the following secmec (securitymechanism) values.
> USRIDONL = 4
> USRIDPWD = 3
> USRSSBPWD = 8
> EUSRIDPWD = 9
> Currently in the client url, one would have to pass in the integer value for securityMechanism. e.g.
> ij>connect 'testdb;securityMechanism=9;user=sa;password=p1';
> when using the datasource, the setSecurityMechanism(int) on the ClientDataSource can be used.
> Constants are
> ClientDataSource.CLEAR_TEXT_PASSWORD_SECURITY (0x03)
> ClientDataSource.USER_ONLY_SECURITY (0x04)
> ClientDataSource.STRONG_PASSWORD_SUBSTITUTE_SECURITY (0x08)
> ClientDataSource.ENCRYPTED_USER_AND_PASSWORD_SECURITY (0x09)
> Add support in client to recognize the user friendly names for the securityMechanism attribute. The values that should be accepted are CLEAR_TEXT_PASSWORD_SECURITY, USER_ONLY_SECURITY, ENCRYPTED_USER_AND_PASSWORD_SECURITY.
> --------
> To ensure that the old applications that were written to pass in an integer value for securityMechanism do not break with the new client , the client should probably support both the integer values as well as the string values.
