Enable SSL for DB2 HADR Communication

In blog DB2 SSL we went through importance of SSL and steps to configure SSL for DB2 communication both at DB2 Server side and client side. In this blog we will go through steps to configure SSL for DB2 HADR communication. If you want you can configure SSL for both DB2 client and server communication as well as for HADR communication or only for HADR communication also. If you have not read blog DB2 SSL, I highly recommend to go through it first before moving into detailed steps to configure SSL for DB2 HADR communication.

In this blog we will use 2 Local KeyStore, one for Primary and other for Standby. We will consider a 2 node HADR setup with below configuration. In case you have more than 1 Standby nodes then you need to perform below steps on all other Standby nodes as well.
