Answer options

• A. Set the DB2COMM registry variable to DB2COMM=SSL
• B. Set the DB2COMM registry variable to DB2COMM=SSL, TCPIP
• C. Set the AUTHENTICATION configuration parameter to DATA_ENCRYPT
• D. Set the AUTHENTICATION configuration parameter to SERVER_ENCRYPT

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct as it specifies the necessary DB2COMM settings to enable both SSL and TCPIP for secure data transmission. Option A is incomplete as it does not include TCPIP, which is essential for proper communication. Options C and D pertain to authentication settings but do not address the requirement for data encryption in transit.
