Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-2196:
---------------------------------
Attachment: derby-2196-01-print-02.diff
Thanks for the quick review, John!
The need to set derby.system.home and derby.drda.host is expected. I should
have pointed that out. A follow-on patch will set those variables if they
aren't already set.
Thanks for catching the problems with running the policy-printer from
derbyrun.jar and derbynet.jar standalone. have come up with what looks like a
simpler way to find the target codebases. The improved scheme should work for
more cases.
I am attaching rev 2 of this patch: derby-2196-01-print-02.diff.
> Run standalone network server with security manager by default

> From an e-mail discussion:
> ... Derby should match the security provided by typical client server
> systems such as DB2, Oracle, etc. I
> think in this case system/database owners are trusting the database
> system to ensure that their system cannot be attacked. So maybe if Derby
> is booted as a standalone server with no security manager involved, it
> should install one with a default security policy. Thus allowing Derby
> to use Java security manager to manage system privileges but not
> requiring everyone to become familiar with them.

> PROTECTED]
> I imagine such a policy would allow any access to databases under
> derby.system.home and/or user.home.
> By standalone I mean the network server was started though the main() method
> (command line).
