Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-4483:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: derby-4483-1a.diff
derby-4483-1a.stat
Attaching a new patch (derby-4483-1a) which merges the experiment patch and the
upgrade test patch. Additionally, it contains the following changes:
- Some test cases have been added to AuthenticationTest (suggestions for more
tests are welcome!)
- Comments have been expanded to contain most of the information in the writeup
- Renamed the old authentication mechanism to prevent confusion (including
changes to constant names and method names)
- Added a more specific error message for the case where an invalid algorithm
name has been specified:
ij> call syscs_util.syscs_set_database_property('derby.user.kah', 'test');
ERROR XBCXW: The message digest algorithm 'xyz' is not supported by any of the
available cryptography providers. Please install a cryptography provider that
supports that algorithm, or specify another algorithm in the
derby.authentication.builtin.algorithm property.
ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'xyz MessageDigest not available:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException'.
I believe this patch is ready for commit.

> 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.
