​
Supported Operating Systems

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Linux: Db2 can run on various distributions of Linux, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu.
  • IBM AIX

​
Required access

  • An account on the KMES with administrator permissions to create roles, identities, TLS PKI, and update system settings.
  • Local administrator/root access on the server where IBM Db2 is installed.

​
Network and firewall

  • Allow outbound TCP port 5696 (default KMIP port) from the IBM Db2 server to the KMES Series 3, specified by FQDN (for example, kmes.example.com) or CIDR (for example, 10.0.0.0/24).
TLS inspection or SSL proxies can break mutual TLS handshakes. Exempt the KMES FQDN(s) from inspection. Configure the KMES Series 3 with an FQDN so the exemption applies.
