Hi,
I am trying to connect to DB2 using JDBC. I have set the following properties in my code.
1) properties.put("securityMechanism",new String(""+ com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2BaseDataSource.ENCRYPTED_USER_A ND_PASSWORD_SECURITY+ ""));
2) properties.put("encryptionAlgorithm", new String("2"));

I am using JDK 1.5 and also have following jars

1) db2jcc.jar
2) db2jcc-license.jar
3) US_export_policy.jar
4) local_policy.jar

However when I try to connect to the database I am getting the following error

Exception in thread "main" com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.po: jcct420111237http://3.58.82 Connection authorization failure occurred. Reason: Security mechanism not supported. ERRORCODE=-4214, SQLSTATE=28000

Use the mechanism that's supported by the configured server authentication type. Ask your DBA what it is.
