Parameter Type
Configurable

Default [Range]
MAC0 [ MAC0; MAC1 ]

This parameter specifies the algorithm used in the generation of DATALINK file access control tokens. The value of MAC1 (message authentication code) generates a more secure message authentication code than MAC0, but also has more performance overhead.

For information about file access control tokens, refer to the DB2 Data Links Manager Quick Beginnings book.

This parameter applies to the DATALINK columns that specify "READ PERMISSION DB".
