Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-5651:
-------------------------------------------
Maybe we should simply remove support for securityMechanism=8 completely and
make the client produce an error message advising the users to find another way
to protect their passwords? After all, securityMechanism=8 uses the broken hash
algorithm reported in DERBY-4468, which makes it *very* easy to break into a
user account without knowing the password when strong password substitution is
used.

> Key: DERBY-5651
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5651
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Network Server, Services
> Affects Versions: 10.9.0.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
>
> If you connect to a db with native authentication using strong password
> substitution to protect the password, you'll get a protocol error:
> ij(CONNECTION2)> connect
> 'jdbc:derby://localhost/db;user=app;password=papp;securityMechanism=8';
> ERROR 08006: A network protocol error was encountered and the connection has
> been terminated: A PROTOCOL Data Stream Syntax Error was detected. Reason:
> 0x18. Plaintext connection attempt to an SSL enabled server?
> I don't think strong password substitution is intended to work with NATIVE,
> but it should probably fail more gracefully. With BUILTIN, you'll get a more
> helpful error message:
> ij(CONNECTION5)> connect
> 'jdbc:derby://localhost/db2;user=app;password=papp;securityMechanism=8';
> ERROR 08004: DERBY SQL error: SQLCODE: -1, SQLSTATE: 08004, SQLERRMC:
> Connection authentication failure occurred. Either the supplied credentials
> were invalid, or the database uses a password encryption scheme not
> compatible with the strong password substitution security mechanism. If this
> error started after upgrade, refer to the release note for DERBY-4483 for
> options.
