Kim Haase commented on DERBY-5928:
----------------------------------
The section "Configuring security for your environment" has lists of tasks that
are somewhat different depending whether you are in embedded or client-server
mode. I assume these differences are current and valid and that the list of
tasks should be different for the two modes. Please let me know if any changes
are needed here.
The major work involved in this documentation, I believe, is to flip the
contents of the "Derby and security" and "Configuring security for your
environment" sections of http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/, rework
them slightly, and add links to further information to the "Configuring
security for your environment" sections. The remaining sections can probably
remain as is.
Further information is to be found in both the Reference Manual and the Admin
Guide.
The first topic, "Derby and security", should be titled "Configuring security
for Derby" and should rework the contents of "Configuring security for your
environment" and its two subsections.
The next topic should be "Derby security concepts" and should use the material
from the original "Derby and security" topic.
The other topics should probably remain the same, although additional tweaks
are possible.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5928
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.9.1.0
> Reporter: Kim Haase
> Assignee: Kim Haase
>
> It has been recommended that the Derby security documentation in the
> Developer's Guide should have more of a task-based focus: instead of
> beginning with an outline of security concepts and then describing the tasks
> a user or administrator should perform to secure Derby, we should begin with
> a list of the steps required for security, with links to details on how to
> perform them, and cover the concepts after that. Users should have a single
> location where they can verify that they have done everything they can to
> ensure database security.
