Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-866:
--------------------------------
Attachment: UserManagement.html
Attaching version 7 of the functional spec. This version describes the new
behavior which was just checked in. Changes are summarized in the version 7.0
comment at the head of the spec:
"Introduced a new rule to simplify the conversion of legacy databases to NATIVE
authentication and to make it harder to subvert a Credentials DB. The new rule
is this: A database is a Credentials DB iff credentials have been stored in its
SYS.SYSUSERS table.
o Clarified that derby.authentication.provider is set to the value
NATIVE::LOCAL by Derby itself and that this value is never explicitly set by an
application.
o Clarified that a legacy database becomes a Credentials DB when the DBO
stores her credentials in SYS.SYSUSERS. Revised the example in the Database
Creation section accordingly. Repeated this clarification in the section on
Hard Upgrade.
o Clarified that the DBO's credentials must be the very first credentials
stored in a legacy database via the syscs_util.syscs_create_user procedure.
Calling this procedure permanently marks a database as a Credentials DB.
In addition, clarified that when NATIVE authentication is enabled, Derby
behaves as if derby.connection.requireAuthentication=true and
derby.database.sqlAuthorization=true regardless of how those properties are set
by any other means."

> Proposal to enhance Derby's Built-In DDL User Management. (See proposal spec
> attached to the JIRA).
> Abstract:
> This feature aims at improving the way BUILT-IN users are managed in Derby by
> providing a more intuitive and familiar DDL interface. Currently (in
> 10.1.2.1), Built-In users can be defined at the system and/or database level.
> Users created at the system level can be defined via JVM or/and Derby system
> properties in the derby.properties file. Built-in users created at the
> database level are defined via a call to a Derby system procedure
> (SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_SET_DATABASE_PROPERTY) which sets a database property.
> Defining a user at the system level is very convenient and practical during
> the development phase (EOD) of an application - However, the user's password
> is not encrypted and consequently appears in clear in the derby.properties
> file. Hence, for an application going into production, whether it is embedded
> or not, it is preferable to create users at the database level where the
> password is encrypted.
> There is no real ANSI SQL standard for managing users in SQL but by providing
> a more intuitive and known interface, it will ease Built-In User management
> at the database level as well as Derby's adoption.
