Discussion

Use of nonsecure network functions, ports, protocols, and services exposes the system to avoidable threats.

Check Content

Run the following command to find the value of the network service:

     $db2 get dbm cfg

TCP/IP Service name                     (SVCENAME) 
SSL service name                         (SSL_SVCENAME) 

If the port numbers are not specified, look for the port numbers in services file and find the port numbers defined for the TCP/IP service name and SSL service name (SVCENAME, SSL_SVCENAME) above.

Default Location for services file:
   Windows Service File:  %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services
   UNIX Services File: /etc/services

If the network protocols and ports found in previous step are not in as per PPSM guidance, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Use the following commands to set the protocol and ports as per PPSM guidance:

     $db2 update dbm cfg using svcename [service_name | port_number]

     $db2 update dbm cfg using ssl_svcename [ssl_service_name | port_number]
