Do we have Bluemix Secure gateway client that can be used to connect to DB2 database on OS 400? The bluemix documentation does not mention about client for for OS400 @ https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/SecureGateway/secure_gateway.html#client

I had gone through how to connect a bluemix app to on-premise db/as400? , which mentions about Secure gateway client for OS 400. Wanted to understand how to configure the same?

You don't need an OS/400 Secure Gateway client to connect to an AS/400 system. It's sufficient to install the client on any machine on the same network as your AS/400 server and configure the client to allow access to the database IP address and port.

  • hi mustaccio, Do we need to configure any special settings in the machine where we install Secure gateway client to connect to AS/400? Can you please help me with any specific settings. Does it require and DB2 client software to be installed ? – Harish Shenoy Feb 09 '17 at 16:03
  • No, you don't need the DB2 client on the gateway, as you wouldn't need it on a VPN server. Follow the setup instructions on Bluemix and post another question if you have any particular issue. – mustaccio Feb 09 '17 at 16:12
