Dag H. Wanvik commented on DERBY-4990:
--------------------------------------
Thanks, Kim.
"need to update the URL in "JNDI-specific properties..": do we have other sun
URLs in our docs that would need updating after acquisition?
> Documentation should state a custom security policy being required to use
> LDAP in conjunction with network driver

> The documentation is lacking a statement that defining and using a >custom<
> security manager template is required when wanting to use LDAP authorization
> provider in conjunction with the network driver client. driver. Otherwise,
> i.e. just using the default security policy will lead to socket permission
> errors. Details on which permission exactely needs to be granted to which
> code base would be very helpful.
> Chapter 'Running Derby under a security manager', section 'granting
> permissions to Derby' in the Developer's guide seems a good place to mention
> the permission java.net.SocketPermission as optional, but required to be set
> when wanting to use LDAP authorization in conjunction with the network client
> driver and defining the authorisation provider properties as system-level
> properties.
> Adding this to the documentation and preferrably also providing some more
> guidance seems desirable as migrating off the builtin user system to LDAP is
> strongly recommened and the documentation has explicit statements about
> security risks otherwise incurred.
> I also realized that the template included in the documentation at
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.7/adminguide/tadminnetservbasic.html and
> the default template included in 10.7.1.1 software are no longer in sync.
