Dag H. Wanvik updated DERBY-4976:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
cf DERBY-4975.

It seems derby.authentication.ldap.searchFilter=derby.user doesn't work as 
advertised.

LDAPAuthenticationSchemeImpl contains this code:

#authenticateUser:
    :
    // Retrieve the user's DN (Distinguished Name) If we're asked to
    // look it up locally, do it first and if we don't find it, we go
    // against the LDAP server for a look-up (search)

    if (useUserPropertyAsDN)
            userDN =
                    authenticationService.getProperty(
                            
org.apache.derby.iapi.reference.Property.USER_PROPERTY_PREFIX);

The lookup happens against the property "derby.user.", the username is not 
appended first, so userDN is always set to null, and search ensues before bind. 
Cf. this explanation http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/develop/develop100.html:

> Derby typically initiates a search for a full DN before binding to the 
> directory using the full DN for user authentication. Derby does not initiate 
> a search in the following cases:
> 
>     * You have set derby.authentication.ldap.searchFilter to derby.user.
>     * A user DN has been cached locally for the specific user with the 
> derby.user.UserName property.

> LDAP authentication's use of derby.propery for finding dn locally is faulty: 
> search is always performed
