Authentication with certificates
Jochen Schneider asked how to use certificate authentication with IDS 12.10. Andreas Legner first suggested PAM or Kerberos, then, once Jochen meant SSL client authentication, pointed to the onsocssl protocol (drsocssl for DRDA) in the Knowledge Center and a German-language Informix newsletter. No further confirmation was given.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out how I can use certificate authentication to connect to IDS 12.10. Does anyone have experience with this challenge or can tell me if it's even possible? Thank you for all Replies. Kind regards. Jochen
'certificate authentication'? What exactly are you referring to? If there's a PAM module for this, using PAM authentication might be one way. Should you refer to Kerberos, then yes, that's well possible too.

Thank you for your response. I was thinking about something like the SSL client authentication.
Hi Jochen, sure there is: you may want to start your search with 'onsocssl' protocol (or drsocssl for DRDA connections), e.g. in Knowledge Center. http://informix-zone.com/files/newsletter/INFORMIX_NL_201507.pdf might also be a good (German language) entry point.
