Server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-3322
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3322
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 10.3.2.1, 10.3.1.4
Environment: N/A
Reporter: John H. Embretsen
Assignee: John H. Embretsen
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 10.4.0.0
The Server and Administration guide contains a section about customizing the
Network Server's security policy, based on the template policy:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/tadminnetservcustom.html
This section mentions that the variable ${derby.security.host} should be
replaced with a suitable value.
However, the template policy, at /demo/templates/server.policy (released
binaries) or java/drda/org/apache/derby/drda/template.policy (SVN codeline),
does not refer to any variable or property called ${derby.security.host}.
Instead, the policy file specifies the wildcard address, with appropriate
comments:
<quote>
// Accept connections from any host. Derby is listening to the host
// interface specified via the -h option to "NetworkServerControl
// start" on the command line, via the address parameter to the
// org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl constructor in the API
// or via the property derby.drda.host; the default is localhost.
// You may want to restrict allowed hosts, e.g. to hosts in a specific
// subdomain, e.g. "*.acme.com".
permission java.net.SocketPermission "*", "accept";
</quote>
