Hi David,

It is my understanding that you still need to add the securityMechanism
attribute to the connection URL in order to get password encryption.

http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefattribsecmech.html:

  Clear Text Password security is the default if you do not specify the
  securityMechanism attribute and you specify both the user=userName and
  password=userPassword attributes.
