Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-7147: ---------------------------------------- I've been trying to verify that Derby can use the ApacheDS LDAP server but haven't had much success yet. I'm trying to follow [https://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.16/security/cseccsecure863446.html] but all my attempts to connect are failing with {code:java} ERROR 08004: Connection refused : javax.naming.directory.InvalidSearchFilterException: invalid attribute description {code} > LDAP injection vulnerability in LDAPAuthenticationImpl > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-7147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7147 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JDBC > Affects Versions: 10.16.1.1 > Reporter: Richard N.
