Han Hong Fang commented on GERONIMO-4296:
-----------------------------------------
Username and password are not required to start the NetworkServerControl.
To introduce user id and password checking when stop NetworkServerControl, we
must enable derby user authentication. And with user authetication enabled, no
matter stopping NectworkServerControl or accessing derby databases, user needs
to provide user id and password, and then be authenticated in a unified way.
It covers both the stop issue described in this JIRA and access issue in this
JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4878
> Start Derby NetworkServerControl with credentials to prevent unauthorized

> Key: GERONIMO-4296
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4296
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: databases
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.2
> Reporter: Donald Woods
> Assignee: Donald Woods
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Wish List
>
>
> Use the new NetworkServerControl support in Derby 10.4.1.3 and later to start
> our embedded Derby server with credentials, to prevent any other apps on
> localhost from stopping our Derby instance. The following Derby release note
> details the scenario and the new API -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.4.1.3.html#Note+for+DERBY-3585
> We could either use random uid/pwd values to start the Derby server, which
> would be the most secure, but would keep other apps from using our Derby
> server. The other option, would be to set uid/pwd GBean attributes and
> default the to the default system/manager values and leave it up to the user
> to change them.
> Note: This may also require some Samples, Testsuite and Portlet chagnes to
> handle the required DB auth.
