[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2109?page=comments#action_12457498 ] Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2109: ----------------------------------------------
I don't think the "plugin" privilege is a system privilege since (as described in systemPrivs.html) it is restricting the ability to perform a database operation. I also think that the "plugin" privilege as described of being the privilege of being able to call CREATE FUNCTION or PROCEDURE is not the correct approach. The actual issue is being able to create a Java routine that maps to a class name not stored in a jar file. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200611.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > System privileges > ----------------- > > Key: DERBY-2109 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2109 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Security > Affects Versions: 10.3.0.0 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Fix For: 10.3.0.0 > > Attachments: systemPrivs.html > > > Add mechanisms for controlling system-level privileges in Derby. See the > related email discussion at > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.db.derby.devel/33151. > The 10.2 GRANT/REVOKE work was a big step forward in making Derby more > secure in a client/server configuration. I'd like to plug more client/server > security holes in 10.3. In particular, I'd like to focus on authorization > issues which the ANSI spec doesn't address. > Here are the important issues which came out of the email discussion. > Missing privileges that are above the level of a single database: > - Create Database > - Shutdown all databases > - Shutdown System > Missing privileges specific to a particular database: > - Shutdown that Database > - Encrypt that database > - Upgrade database > - Create (in that Database) Java Plugins (currently Functions/Procedures, > but someday Aggregates and VTIs) > Note that 10.2 gave us GRANT/REVOKE control over the following > database-specific issues, via granting execute privilege to system > procedures: > Jar Handling > Backup Routines > Admin Routines > Import/Export > Property Handling > Check Table > In addition, since 10.0, the privilege of connecting to a database has been > controlled by two properties (derby.database.fullAccessUsers and > derby.database.defaultConnectionMode) as described in the security section of > the Developer's Guide (see > http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/devguide/cdevcsecure865818.html). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
