QIBM_QZDA_INIT - Add new format that includes the source IP

Add a new exit point format for QIBM_QZDA_INIT that includes the IP address of the client initiating the connection.


Use Case:

We use the QIBM_QZDA_INIT exit point to filter which user accounts are allowed access via ODBC/JDBC. We would like to be able to filter access for specific accounts by IP address ranges.

    Hi,
    Instead of providing what was requested, we are requesting that you utilize SQL (QSYS2.TCPIP_INFO) or an API (QUSRJOBI()) to retrieve the Client IP address, and other useful information. Once retrieved, your exit program can deploy IP specific logic.

    For example:
    select qsys2.job_name, user, client_ip_address from qsys2.tcpip_info;

    Regards, Scott Forstie
