Specifies whether a DB2 access service requires a user-supplied password to allocate the conversation with the database. The DB2 access service sends the password to the database.
PasswordRequired=[no | yes]
no
no indicates that a DB2 access service attempts to connect to the database whether or not there is a password. However, if the database requires a password for login and none is provided, the database sends an error message to the client application.
yes indicates that a DB2 access service checks for a password before it makes the APPC connection. If it does not find a password, the DB2 access service does not attempt to make a connection and sends an error message to the client application.
The PasswordRequired property has no tie with the APPCSecurity property.
