Release Notes
If you are using APPC as the communication protocol for remote DB2 clients
to connect to your DB2 server and if you use CS/NT as the SNA product, make
sure that the following keywords are set correctly in the CS/NT configuration
file. This file is commonly found in the
x:\ibmcs\private directory.
- TG_SECURITY_BEHAVIOR
- This parameter allows the user to determine how the node is to handle
security information present in the ATTACH if the TP is not configured for
security
- IGNORE_IF_NOT_DEFINED
- This parameter allows the user to determine if security parameters are
present in the ATTACH and to ignore them if the TP is not configured for
security.
If you use IGNORE_IF_NOT_DEFINED, you don't have to define a
User ID and password in CS/NT.
- VERIFY_EVEN_IF_NOT_DEFINED
- This parameter allows the user to determine if security parameters are
present in the ATTACH and verify them even if the TP is not configured for
security. This is the default.
If you use VERIFY_EVEN_IF_NOT_DEFINED, you have to define User
ID and password in CS/NT.
To define the CS/NT User ID and password, perform the following
steps:
- Start --> Programs --> IBM Communications Server
--> SNA Node Configuration. The Welcome to Communications
Server Configuration window opens.
- Choose the configuration file you want to modify. Click
Next. The Choose a Configuration Scenario window

- Highlight CPI-C, APPC or 5250 Emulation. Click

Define a User ID Password window opens.
