Rick Hillegas closed DERBY-3014.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing this issue as "Won't fix". That's because BUILTIN authentication is not 
intended for production use. Our user guides make this clear now. NATIVE 
authentication is the production-quality password manager which we ship with 
the product. See DERBY-866.
                
> Make SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_GET_DATABASE_PROPERTY('derby.user.<username>')  return 
> NULL instead of the hash value of the password

> Increases security by providing less information to any attacker. The current 
> returned hash value could be used in an off-line dictionary based attack to
