LowLevel 2Manual reviewdb2

Description

A Trusted Context object provides a means of enforcing encryption, assigning privileges based on roles, and ensuring that the actions performed on behalf of a user are performed in the context of the user's ID and privileges.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

Issue the following command to verify that a Trusted Context object is enabled: db2 => select contextname, enabled from syscat.contexts where enabled = 'Y'

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

If there is no enabled Trusted Context object, create a Trusted Context object if needed and enable it.
