Kristian Waagan commented on DERBY-2356:
----------------------------------------

Just a few quick comments!

 1) Typo in Property.java
[drda.NaiveTrustManager]
 2) Strange sentence in JavaDoc for getSocketFactory()
 3) No JavaDoc for the other methods. Are these documented elsewhere? For 
instance, what form/value is authType supposed to have?
 4) Could getAcceptedIssuers() return an empty array instead of null?
[NetworkServerControlImpl]
 5) I guess SSL_OFF and default are the same for now. It would be nice with a 
comment to document the fall-through.
 6) Long line/missing newline in getSSLModeValue
[net.NaiveTrustManager]
 7) See items 2-4.
[NetConnection]
 8) Several long lines. Was long before, but maybe it is possible to break some 
of them?
[OpenSocketAction]
 9) Document fall-through in switch?

There also seems to be a mix of tabs and spaces in the changed code. Even 
though the code already contains both, it would be nice to stick to one 
alternative when adding/changing lines.

I'll give the functionality a try tomorrow!
Thanks,

> Default SSL behaviour is to require serer authentication. For a database 
> application this is not as important as it is for web browsers and also 
> creates som extra hassle for the user/application programmer. Since the main 
> objective for SSL in Derby is encryption on the wire, server authentication 
> should be optional (the same way client authentication is).
> This also creates some symmetry which can be exploited to simplify the user 
> interfce somewhat. This improvement to DERBY-2108 is described in the 
> attached functional specification. See the attachment for details.
