Greetings to all the Derbites in mailing list land. I have a rather simple, but potentially complicated question.
I grabbed a copy of the latest derby-bin distribution. I ran the scripts required to run it as a network server, just as a quick little test in the console. The first concern I have is that anyone seems to have the ability to connect to my server and create databases? I did a bit of searching with Google and also within the derby site and came up with all kinds of very complicated and confusing recommendations to "secure" a server. Some were in the manual, referring to authentication, others involved using a Java security manager. Neither of which were explained in such a way that I could easily absorb or put into practical use. Especially the Java security manager. Is there any resource that is straightforward, concise and simple that can help me set up a derby network server that authenticates based on username/password pairs? I'm talking MySQL-easy (anyone can set up a MySQL server!). Thank you to all who reply... - Alexander Trauzzi
