Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3477:
----------------------------------------------

Given the way that jvm's handle principals in policy files, namely equality is 
based upon the Prinicipal's class name and return from getName I think the only 
conclusion is that the format of the name for Derby's SystemPrinicipal is the 
common normal form of the name.

principal org.apache.derby.authentication.SystemPrinicipal "FRED"; // cnf of 
fred (JDBC user name as a Java literal could be "FRED" or "fred")

principal org.apache.derby.authentication.SystemPrinicipal "fred";  // cnf of 
fred ( JDBC user name as a Java literal is "\"fred\"")

principal org.apache.derby.authentication.SystemPrinicipal "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; 
 // cnf of [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( JDBC user name as a Java literal is "\"[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]"")



> Make format principal names in SystemPermission (e.g. policy files) match the 
> standard way Derby handles authorization identifiers in a Java context.
