User Id And Password Security Under The Ibm Data Server Driver For Jdbc And Sqlj - IBM DB2 Manual

The following table lists the security mechanisms that the IBM Data Server Driver
for JDBC and SQLJ supports, and the value that you need to specify for the
securityMechanism property to specify each security mechanism.
The default security mechanism is CLEAR_TEXT_PASSWORD_SECURITY. If the
server does not support CLEAR_TEXT_PASSWORD_SECURITY but supports
ENCRYPTED_USER_AND_PASSWORD_SECURITY, the IBM Data Server Driver
for JDBC and SQLJ driver updates the security mechanism to
ENCRYPTED_USER_AND_PASSWORD_SECURITY and attempts to connect to the
server. Any other mismatch in security mechanism support between the requester
and the server results in an error.

User ID and password security under the IBM Data Server Driver for
JDBC and SQLJ
With the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, one of the available security
methods is user ID and password security.
To specify user ID and password security for a JDBC connection, use one of the
following techniques.
For the DriverManager interface: You can specify the user ID and password directly
in the DriverManager.getConnection invocation. For example:
import java.sql.*;
...
String id = "dbadm";
String pw = "dbadm";
String url = "jdbc:db2://mvs1.sj.ibm.com:5021/san_jose";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, id, pw);
Another method is to set the user ID and password directly in the URL string. For
example:
