             Summary: Support Informix as a JDBC authentication provider
                 Key: GEOS-5063
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5063
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Security
    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta1
            Reporter: Torsten Heinen
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor


Informix cannot be used as a JDBC authentication provider [1]. It seems that 
the Informix JDBC driver does not support the discovery through the 
"DriverManager.getDrivers" method that is used in the new security subsystem to 
find all available JDBC drivers.

Looking at the Informix docs, it seems that the driver needs to be discovered 
through Class.forName [2] and instantiated with 
DriverManager.getConnection(url) [3].
