UserAuthenticator class needs to define its handling of user name more clearly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-3334
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3334
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Security
Affects Versions: 10.3.2.1, 10.3.1.4, 10.2.2.0, 10.2.1.6, 10.1.3.1,
10.1.2.1, 10.1.1.0, 10.0.2.1, 10.0.2.0, 10.4.0.0
Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner
Priority: Minor
Java doc for UserAuthenticator class should clearly state the input format for
user name.
Currently the javadoc uses the terms "case-insensitive authorization
identifier" and "case-sensitive authorization identifier", which is incorrect.
Authorization identifiers are always case sensitive, it's their representation
as user names that has the appearance of being case insensitive.
Note that user names are not really case sensitive or case insensitive,
non-delimited names are upper-cased to become an authorization identifier.
This wiki page has the SQL rules that lead to this behaviour.
