Message XCY05 for NATIVE authentication is (too?) complex
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5657
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5657
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Services
    Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
            Reporter: Kristian Waagan
            Priority: Minor


The error message XCY05 is rather complex:
Invalid change of the derby.authentication.provider property. Once set to 
NATIVE authentication, this property cannot be changed. NATIVE::LOCAL is the 
only NATIVE value accepted by derby.authentication.provider. This property 
cannot be set to NATIVE::LOCAL unless credentials for the database owner have 
been stored in the database using the syscs_util.syscs_create_user procedure.

I'd be in favor of simplifying this error message if possible, especially 
raising a more specific message for the error condition when the DBO hasn't 
been added as a user.
Further, it was not clear to me that the information about 
derby.authentication.provider applies when setting it as a database property 
only.
Is this message trying to describe three problem scenarios?
 a) Turning off NATIVE authentication is forbidden.
 b) Specifying an invalid value for derby.authentication.provider when set as a 
database property.
 c) Missing credentials for the DBO.
