For Non-secured DDM connections

Use the one of the following commands to change the TCP/IP DDM attributes for non-secured operations:

...

A new special value QDDMDRDASERVER is allowed for DDM and DRDA connections with PTF SI44316 (IBM i 7.1), SI44317 (V6R1M0), SI44315 (V5R4M0) applied. You may specify QDDMDRDASERVER in the SERVER parameter of Add Server Authentication Entry (ADDSVRAUTE) command. This new special value allows a user to make DDM or DRDA connections to any system in the TCP/IP network via a common userid and password. This prevents having to add individual server authentication entries for every DRDA application server in every user profile on the system. For DRDA or RDB DDM files, this resolves the problem of having to add new server authentication entries for every user profile each time a new systems system has been added to the TCP/IP network.

BRMS strongly encourages the use of Secured DDM connections and implementing passwords for the Relational Database Directory Entries used for DB2 for i call level interface (CLI) communications.

NOTE: When using the new special value QDDMDRDASERVER, Step 7: Setup a secure DDM profile for BRMS to use is no longer necessary.

...

Use the following command to add a server authentication entry for the QBRMS user profile. (This user profile is used for network syncronizationsynchronization. )

ADDSVRAUTE USRPRF(QBRMS) SERVER(QDDMDRDASERVER) USRID(remote-system-userid) PASSWORD(remote-system-password)

...

Use the following command to add a server authentication entry for the QBRMS user profile. (This user profile is used for network syncronizationsynchronization. )

ADDSVRAUTE USRPRF(QBRMS) SERVER(QDDMSERVER) USRID(remote-system-userid) PASSWORD(remote-system-password)

...

If the remote-system-userid does not have *ALLOBJ special authority then the user should have QBRMS as a group profile and special authority must be *NONE. Use the following command on the remote system to change the user's profile.

CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(remote-system-userid) GRPPRF(QBRMS)
 

...

Refer to the BRMS User Guide, Chapter 14 Networking with BRMS (or the IBM i Knowledge Center page Networking with BRMSfor instructions on how to set up a BRMS network. 

Step 7: Setup Set up a secure DDM profile for BRMS to use.

NOTE: Skip Step 7 if using the New Preferred Server AuthenicationAuthentication support with QDDMDRDASERVER.
