Francois Orsini commented on DERBY-4483:
----------------------------------------
Note: Allowing to set a different hash algorithm would have to be done at the
time the database is created when the hash password is stored in the database
(storing the user property) as otherwise during runtime, one would not be able
to compare some hash produced by the new configured hash algorithm versus the
stored hash value which would have been generated using some previous and
different algorithm.
> Provide a way to change the hash algorithm used by BUILTIN authentication

> Key: DERBY-4483
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4483
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Services
> Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The BUILTIN authentication scheme protects the passwords by hashing them with
> the SHA-1 algorithm. It would be nice to have way to specify a different
> algorithm so that users can take advantage of new, stronger algorithms
> provided by their JCE provider if so desired.
