Determining whether a security service Is enabled

To determine whether a particular security service, such as “mutualauth” is enabled, use the function is_sec_service_on. The following is the syntax, where security_service_nm is a security service that is available:

is_sec_service_on(security_service_nm)

Use the name that is displayed when you query syssecmechs.

For example, to determine whether “mutualauth” is enabled, execute:

select is_sec_service_on("mutualauth")
-----------
          1
(1 row affected)

A result of 1 indicates the security service is enabled for the session. A result of 0 indicates the service is not in use.
