------------------------------------
Summary: Check that connection attributes have legal values.
Key: DERBY-5970
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5970
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Services
Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
At boot time, Derby does not check whether connection attributes are set to
legal values. This can cause them to be silently ignored. In the case of
security operations like re(un)encryption, these silent failures deceive the
DBO into thinking that the security behavior of the database has changed when,
in fact, it hasn't. We should do the following:
1) Prevent decryptDatabase from being set to an illegal value. Since this is a
new attribute, there are no backward compatibility issues.
2) Evaluate other attributes on a case-by-case basis to determine which ones
should raise exceptions if they are set to illegal values. Technically, this
may result in backwardly incompatible behavior. However, I think that for most
attributes, we will decide that the incompatibility is minor and is a welcome
bugfix.
