Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-4483:
---------------------------------
Description:
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.
This issue tracks our response to a security vulnerability, which Marcell Major
identified. See http://marcellmajor.com/derbyhash.html
