[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-928?page=comments#action_12365456 ]
Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-928: --------------------------------------- I'd prefer the friendly string names (USER_ONLY_SECURITY, etc.). Actually, I'd prefer to use the friendly string names for *both* the server property and the client URL, but you didn't mention whether that was an option or not. I find "connect 'testdb;securityMechanism=9'" to be unappealing. > Add ability to network server to accept connections with a certain security > mechanism. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-928 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-928 > Project: Derby > Type: New Feature > Components: Network Server > Reporter: Sunitha Kambhampati > Fix For: 10.2.0.0 > > Currently the network server has support for the following security mechanisms > 1) USRIDONL (userid only), > 2) USRIDPWD (clear text userid and password), > 3) EUSRIDPWD (encrypted userid and password). > Thus the #3 encrypted userid and password security mechanism is secure with > respect to the userid/password sent across the wire. Currently there is no > way to setup the network server to ensure that it accepts connections coming > in at a certain security mechanism. It seems reasonable & useful to have a > server want to accept connections from clients with a particular security > mechanism (e.g lets say encrypted userid/password and reject usridpwd ie > clear text userid and password) > This jira will add support for this by adding a property to enable the server > to be able to accept connections from clients with a certain security > mechanism. > -------------------- > I actually couldnt find if a rank was given to the security mechanisms in the > drda spec. If it were so, then maybe a property for setting the minimum > security mechanism accepted by the server would be appropriate. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
