Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2109: ---------------------------------------------- Guess it depends on the definition of painful? Be careful of using the tests as an indicator of a typical application. The required change, as far as I understand, is that an application that is using system level authentication now needs to create its NetworkServerControl objects with a user name and password, rather than with none. E.g. they need to replace: NetworkServerControl ctrl = new NetworkServerControl(); with NetworkServerControl ctrl = new NetworkServerControl(user, password); Or if they are using the command line, they need to add arguments -user user -password password I believe applications that do not use system authentication can continue to use the NetworkServerControl constructors that do not take a user name & password. > System privileges > ----------------- > > Key: DERBY-2109 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2109 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Security > Affects Versions: 10.3.1.4 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Attachments: DERBY-2109-02.diff, DERBY-2109-02.stat, > derby-2109-03-javadoc-see-tags.diff, DERBY-2109-04.diff, DERBY-2109-04.stat, > DERBY-2109-05and06.diff, DERBY-2109-05and06.stat, DERBY-2109-07.diff, > DERBY-2109-07.stat, DERBY-2109-08.diff, DERBY-2109-08.stat, > DERBY-2109-08_addendum.diff, DERBY-2109-08_addendum.stat, DERBY-2109-09.diff, > DERBY-2109-09.stat, DERBY-2109-10.diff, DERBY-2109-10.stat, > DERBY-2109-11.diff, DERBY-2109-11.stat, DERBY-2109-12.diff, > DERBY-2109-12.stat, SystemPrivilegesBehaviour.html, systemPrivs.html, > systemPrivs.html, systemPrivs.html, systemPrivs.html > > > Add mechanisms for controlling system-level privileges in Derby.
