Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5769:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the patch, Kim. Looks good. One comment:
tdevdvlp40464:
If authentication is turned on, then credentials are required in order to shut
down the engine. This is true for LDAP and application-supplied authentication
as well as for NATIVE and BUILTIN. Also, database-specific credentials cannot
be used to shut down the engine. Only system-wide credentials can be used for
this purpose. So I would change the third paragraph to say this:
"If you have enabled user authentication at the system level, you will need to
specify credentials (that is, username and password) in order to shut down a
Derby system, and the supplied username and password must also be defined at
the system level."
Thanks,
-Rick

> In reviewing a DERBY-5767 patch, Rick Hillegas noticed that in the
> derby.authentication.provider topic, "In the second, longer paragraph of the
> BUILTIN bullet, we recommend LDAP and user-supplied schemes as alternatives
> to BUILTIN, but we don't recommend NATIVE. Did we decide to not recommend
> NATIVE here or should this be adjusted to include it beside the other safe
> schemes? Thanks."
> In several topics, the notes were not modified to recommend NATIVE
> authentication the same way they were elsewhere: "It is strongly recommended
> that production systems rely on NATIVE authentication, an external directory
> service such as LDAP, or a user-defined class for authentication." These
> notes need to be tidied up.
