Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-4483:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: comments.diff
Here's a patch that updates some comments with information about the extra
requirement for strong password substitution (touches code in the client and
the server, as well as in the engine). It also fixes up one more symbol name
that refers to the SHA-1 based old scheme as the new scheme.
> Provide a way to change the hash algorithm used by BUILTIN authentication

> The BUILTIN authentication scheme protects the passwords by hashing them with
> the SHA-1 algorithm. It would be nice to have way to specify a different
> algorithm so that users can take advantage of new, stronger algorithms
> provided by their JCE provider if so desired.
