DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

A CLP (Command Line Processor) connection will fail with an 
SQL30082N rc=17 (Unsupported Function) when using the 
db2dsdriver.cfg instead of the database directory to connect to 
a server that has AUTHENTICATION=CLIENT set in the database 
manager configuration (dbm cfg) file. 
 
A CLI or .NET connection will work with this configuration, and 
we would like the CLP to be consistent with these two 
interfaces. 
 
Note:   DB2 does not support the "CLIENT" value for the 
"AUTHENTICATION" keyword in the db2dsdriver.cfg or the 
db2cli.ini file.  When using AUTHENTICATION=CLIENT on the 
server, it would be recommended to catalog the database using 
the "db2 catalog database" command and to specify 
"AUTHENTICATION CLIENT" on the "CATALOG DATABASE" command. 
This will ensure that there is less over head on the connection 
request. 
 
AUTHENTICATION=CLIENT is considered unsecure in a DB2 
environment, so use with caution and only in an environment that 
has tight network security.

Use the "CATALOG DATABASE" and "CATALOG TCPIP NODE" commands to 
catalog the remote database at the CLP to allow client 
authentication.

Fixed in v10.5.7
