Hi,
Has there been any work/discussions on utilizing Kerberos for
authentication between a Derby client and the Network Server?
I'be not seen any discussion. Derby does support pluggable
authentication, an application can implement the UserAuthenticator class:
http://db.apache.org/derby/javadoc/publishedapi/jdbc3/org/apache/derby/authentication/UserAuthenticator.html
Would this work for Kerberos? A first step might be to get that working
and then see if it should become a builtin authentication mechanism.
