Actually not. I tested this, and there needs to be defined at least
one user at the system level for a shutdown to work. So a more
precise wording would be:
"If you have enabled Derby's BUILTIN user authentication at the system
level (for example, by setting the property
derby.connection.requireAuthentication=true
in the derby.properties file), you will need to specify credentials
(e.g. username and password) in order to shut down a Derby system
*and* the supplied username/password must also be defined at the
system level."
