Provide TLS support for the (different) App Connect DB2 Conectors

Currently the DB2 connectors within the App Connect Designer does not support any TLS / SSL. 
This should be changed - as there are many customers requiring this feature . 
(actually I have never met a customer who is not using TLS / SSL for database access).

    Thank you for raising this. TLS/SSL is an important aspect of enterprise database connectivity, and we appreciate the feedback.

    We are marking this as accepted for future consideration.

    To provide some context: in ACE 13.0.6.1 we introduced TLS/SSL support for the Designer DB2 Connector for DB2 on z/OS. Expanding this to cover DB2 on additional platforms is a good suggestion and something we want to address in a future release.
