Derby client fails to connect to server every time after updating to 10.8.1.2

[Trejkaz]

Hi all.

We have tests (and apps, naturally) which start up the network server
and then test that connecting to it works.  One test runs our wrapping
around the server and uses bare JDBC code to verify that it's
connectable.  The other test runs our wrapping around the client and
uses bare NetworkServerControl calls to start the server.  Both of
these tests fail after updating from 10.6.1.0 -> 10.8.1.2.

The error I am getting:

Fri Sep 02 15:21:40 EST 2011 : Execution failed because of a
Distributed Protocol Error:  DRDA_Proto_SYNTAXRM; CODPNT arg  = 115a;
Error Code Value = 9. Plaintext connection attempt from an SSL enabled

I joined the unit tests to form one test which doesn't use any of our
own code, and the same error occurs.  The test does require a
'scratch' field to be set up... which is unfortunately still part of
our test framework. :/

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception
    {
        File dbDir = new File(scratch, "db");

        EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource ds1 = new
EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource();
        ds1.setDatabaseName(dbDir.getAbsolutePath());
        ds1.setCreateDatabase("create");
        ds1.getConnection().close();

        NetworkServerControl server = new
NetworkServerControl(InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"), 27000);
        try
        {
            server.start(null);

            ClientConnectionPoolDataSource ds = new
ClientConnectionPoolDataSource();
            ds.setServerName("127.0.0.1");
            ds.setPortNumber(27000);
            ds.setDatabaseName(dbDir.getAbsolutePath());
            ds.setUser("bob");

            Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
            connection.close();
        }
        finally
        {
            server.shutdown();

            // clean up after ourselves
            EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource ds2 = new
EmbeddedConnectionPoolDataSource();
            ds2.setDatabaseName(dbDir.getAbsolutePath());
            ds2.setShutdownDatabase("shutdown");
            try { ds2.getConnection(); } catch (SQLException e) { /*
expected */ }
        }
    }

The same code still works fine on 10.6.1.0.

Additionally, on 10.6.1.0 I don't have to set the user.  I searched
the changelog and couldn't see anything about a user now being
mandatory, but I assume this has changed for security reasons?
